I continue to press Matthew Homes to bring the play parks on Earls Park, Podsmead up to adoptable standard.

This means so they are of a standard where the city council can adopt the parks, and take on the maintenance, emptying of bins etc. Until this happens, responsibility will rest with the developer. It’s therefore in the interest of Matthew Homes to get the site up to standard sooner, and I have urged them to do this.

I have also asked several questions on this issue at full council, including the most recent meeting.

Since then I’ve made contact with the city council’s new Section 106 officer, and we will be meeting soon to try to progress sites like this in Podsmead.
