It’s sad that these facilities are just left to rot.
The metal railings and playground equipment paintwork have peeled off and no effort has being taken by anyone to have them repaired and repainted.
The grass and shrubs at the edge of the parks are not being cut. The bushes are so tall and unkempt that animals can live in them. It is also a good hiding place for thieves eyeing the nearby housing area or the people who visit the parks.
Rubbish is strewn all over the paths, playground and exercise areas.
