Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Corporate Director Place & Deputy Chief Executive.

In August 2020 the cable way play item in Overdale Road Play Area had to be decommissioned for safety, due to a split along the upper weld of one of the uprights. The upright (weld) cannot be repaired. The cable has been removed to prevent the play item from being used. A new support post (with additional leg support) and repair to the access platform is required for the play item to be brought back into use.

The Area Committee is recommended to give approval to the supply and installation of a new cable way post with safer surface repair and repair to the access ramp at a cost of £2,600 to be funded from the Area Committee’s Delegated Budget (Bredbury Green & Romiley ward allocation.)

RESOLVED - That approval be given to the supply and installation of a new cable way post with safer surface repair and repair to the access ramp at a cost of £2,600 to be funded from the Area Committee’s Delegated Budget (Bredbury Green & Romiley ward allocation).
