Disabled Access into the New Royce Recreation Ground Play area to be rectified by Oakham Town Council



Disabled  Access into the New Royce Recreation Ground Play area to be rectified by Oakham Town Council

Oakham Town Council borrowed £50,000 for a super new playground last year, it contains  play equipment
for disabled children  and those who use wheel chairs, if they can get in to use it.

When the gate was installed it was hung on the wrong side.

The council says the path will be widened so that wheel chair users don't get stuck in the mud.

I raised the issue of the spring on the gate, It close very quickly, I watched mothers struggling
with push chairs, So I can only imagine the difficulty a young person in a wheel chair would suffer.
