Update on the new playground at Vigo Recreation Ground
We know many families have been eagerly awaiting the opening of the new playground at Vigo Recreation Ground in Andover, and it was our intention to have it ready for the school summer holidays. Unfortunately, a number of unforeseen issues have delayed progress.
This included the need to appoint a specialist contractor for the safe removal of buried asbestos from the site and we have now also needed to do a minor redesign to avoid underground data cabling that has been discovered. These works are now progressing, and activity should resume on site this week.
We sincerely apologise the new play area hasn’t opened before now and while we’re aiming for completion before the end of the holidays in late August, this is dependent on several factors. We will, therefore, confirm an opening date as soon as we can.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding, and we are excited to be delivering a fantastic new space that children and families will be able to enjoy for many years to come.
