Peckham Rye Playground

[Tea]

Hi all,

Starting this thread for any issues etc relating to the new playground in Peckham Rye Common.

Issues raised so far:

Tyre swings removed soon after installation and water pumps to be switched off during icy weather:

Response from Cllr Renata Hamvas(Labour Councillor For Peckham Rye Ward, Renata.Hamvas@southwark.gov.uk,02075255223):

"Regarding the tyre swings, the issue is to do with the bolts that connect the tyres to the chains, it is a design flaw that sits with the company that provided the equipment. The contractor and Officers have been liaising with the company to resolve this. Officers say this should be resolved soon.

I understand that the team on site are monitoring the weather and will indeed turn off the water should there be any icy weather. Officers have mentioned that the water play is still very popular, so has left it on at this stage while the weather is so mild".

Thanks,

Tea

Hi Tea,

Any idea when the other water pump will be fixed and what they are planning to do about the weird mud areas with the stepping stones (near toddlers swings and big slides) that fill up with rain water and turn into a swamp?

thanks.

The mud areas are all planted up now. Once they grow the stepping stones will be through bushes and planting. It looks promising.
