JULY 2020

After the revised government advice regarding the option for playgrounds and outdoor gym areas to be re-opened to the public from the 4 July, the Parish Council as owner and authority responsible for Victory Field, South Ascot Recreation Ground, Cheapside & Blythewood Playgrounds wish to let all residents and users know that the Playgrounds will remain closed past the 4 July.

Whilst we appreciate that you have all missed spending time in the playground, we must ensure that users of the play and gym equipment do so in a safe manner.

To that end, the council team are currently carrying out risk assessments based upon the government advice found in details on this link HERE

Please be patient with us, we will open the playgrounds as soon as we can ensuring that all users can enjoy it safely.

The Parish Council have initiated a SUPPORT HUB to co-ordinate the local community response to the current COVID-19 lock down. Prompted by the tremendous response from the community to help those in need the SUPPORT HUB can direct volunteers to co-ordinating organisations, put those in need of financial or physical support in touch with supporting charities and provide a resource of local information.

Following the announcement by the Prime Minister on Monday 23rd March, it has become apparent that to conform to the guidelines in these exceptional times, the Parish Council must now close all playgrounds, restrict access to play equipment which may be in open recreational fields and close the tennis courts, multi-use courts, skate-park and outdoor gym equipment.

Therefore, with immediate effect the following sites are closed to all visitors other than to visitors who are complying with the clear guidelines provided by the Government.

“people will only be allowed to take part in one form of exercise per day like a walk, run or cycle alone or with members of your household”
