Kitelands Recreation Ground - New Play Equipment ????


 
On the 26th April 2013 I asked Biggleswade Town Council:

You will recall this project started back in July 2010, but stalled when the BTC Agent said the land was not contaminated and BTC did not appear to be aware that it was.

As you know the soil survey required was finally carried out nearly two years later in May 2012.

Nearly 3 years on, can you tell me if the new play equipment will be provided in time for the summer holidays.

I have now received a response:

In relation to the Play equipment we propose to take to the next P.L.O.S* proposals to utilise the money set aside for the play equipment that was meant to go in at Kitelands.

The design is now outdated and it would be doubtful if the equipment would be used.

We would hope the committee will consider the proposals put forward; they will of course include Kitelands.
 
* Public Land & Open Spaces Committee, 18th June 2013.

I have been asked for another update on the progress of the provision of this equipment.
 
My last post was 1st July 2012 after the soil testing had been completed, and the results did not show any issues with contamination and the Town Council were now able to proceed.
 
What has happened since then, well it appears the short answer is not a lot! 
 
I asked a Town Councillor over 3 weeks ago to find out for me what is happening, but as yet I have not received a response.
 
We are nearly three years on from when the application was submitted and the question now is will the play equipment ever be installed?
