We were disappointed to discover that the climbing rope on the play equipment at East Park Farm appears to have been deliberately removed over the weekend.
The rope is missing completely, and we have contacted the play equipment supplier to arrange a replacement. We hope it won't take too long to get it repaired so everyone can enjoy the equipment again.
If you have any information about what happened, please email us at clerk@charvilparishcouncil.gov.uk rather than posting in the comments.
Please help us look after our parks and community facilities so they can be enjoyed by everyone.
