Clapham Common playground - a disgrace Post Reply

Why waste valuable public time and money on a public consultation? It's pretty obvious what equipment needs to be repaired and upgraded so just get on and do it.

Fortunately the funding that is being discussed will allow for much more than a simple repair job . The existing playgrounds on Battersea Rise and Windmill Drive are not only dilapidated but also out of kilter with modern thinking on outdoor play but there will inevitably need to be compromise when it comes to expenditure .The skateboard park on Clapham Common was designed in close consultation with local users and is very successful as a result .That precedent is an important one
