Henfield Parish Council’s Children & Young People’s Committee have had ongoing discussions around how best to make improvements and additions to our local play areas.
Back in September, the first of these improvements was completed and a new roundabout was installed. It’s an inclusive piece of play equipment, so that children with disabilities, wheelchair users, children in prams and able-bodied children can all play on it together. It’s a great way to promote play for all and to ensure we are catering for all abilities in our play areas.
This is an ongoing project with the Children & Young People’s Committee at Henfield Parish Council and we are aware that there is a real shortage of this type of play equipment, not just in Henfield but nationwide. We must start somewhere, and this is just the beginning of our ongoing commitment to make the play areas more accessible. The roundabout was supplied and installed by Proludic Ltd who are a playground equipment specialist. I’m sure you’ll agree they have done a fantastic job and we’re pleased to say it is proving very popular with our young people.
