The fencing at the entrance

To enable us to create a much safer entrance to the playground we had to remove a large section of hedging. This will allow us to make a wider entrance which will be set further back from the road. We are going to reinstate the hedging where the old entrance was and also along most of the length of the new entrance. Unfortunately July is not a good time to plant hedging so in the interim we are fencing the playground in with chestnut pale fencing, which many of you may have seen on the site. We realise that this is not a hugely 'sturdy' construction, but, it is a cost effective and temporary solution that still allows a barrier to stop the children being able to run straight out onto the road. The native hedging will grow up through and around this fencing in the autumn.
