Bridle Road Play Area

The Town Council is currently making improvements to the Bridle Road Play Area. The plan is to re-locate the pump track mounds so they are more user friendly and to install the basketball hoops/goals removed from Lovell Gardens Play Area.

This work is likely to be ongoing for a while and no finish date can be given at present, but it is envisaged the equipment will not be installed until August 2024. Hopefully, there will be little, if any, disruption to the use of the Play Area and more and better facilities will be available when all is complete.
