Inspecting and maintaining play areas

All play equipment is inspected once a week to make sure that it is safe for continued use. Some “hotspot” play areas will also be visited at the weekend to clear any litter or glass from the site.

If we receive reports such as broken glass and damaged equipment between the scheduled visits, we will arrange for the play area to be visited within one working day of the report.

Each year all play areas receive an independent inspection to make sure that they meet the British and European safety standards.
