Playground and Adult Play Equipment Remain CLOSED To All under GOVERNMENT Rules
Hazlemere Parish Council are working hard to undertake all the necessary work and sanitisation programme to open up the play areas as soon as is practically possible. Until these are completed they will remain closed and taped off.
Hazlemere Parish Council have followed the Government’s Coronavirus advice throughout, and kept all play areas and outdoor gym equipment closed, however the Recreation Grounds have remained open to give people space to exercise.
Although the huge majority of users have been respectful of the rules and making use of the Recreation Grounds perfectly reasonably at this time, some people seem to feel the need to stretch the point.
However, the signs and tapes and tapes on this equipment are being removed regularly, and these areas used regularly. They are CLOSED for a reason – you have to touch them and it is a vector for transmitting disease. Even if Coronavirus won’t kill you, it might kill the people in your family, friends and workplace that you could then transmit it to. It doesn’t matter if you are a key worker, child, or just bored: they are CLOSED to ALL for public safety.
It’s been particularly sad that some of the people breaking these rules have been rude and unpleasant to Council enforcement officers in trying to remind people to obey those rules. That is not acceptable.
