The Government has announced that playgrounds can reopen from July 4th onwards – but this is only if they are ‘covid-19 safe’. The Parish Council is awaiting guidance from SMBC on a covid-19 risk assessment and appropriate signage. We cannot therefore confirm a date for its reopening. We are sorry if this is disappointing – but our insurance company has advised that ‘risk assessments may lead to the decision not to reopen play areas if we cannot ensure that we can provide safe play equipment’
