Recreational Areas Redhill, Surrey - Keats Avenue
Reigate & Banstead County Council has proposed to remove Keats Playground. I understand that they feel it needs modernisation, and they would rather remove it, than invest any money on it.
Recreational areas for our children should be preserved; this is especially true since new housing developments have smaller gardens that wouldn’t be dreamed of 50 years ago. The creation of flats in the local area makes this doubly important.
Council Tax is expensive, this playground is financially insignificant and will probably last in excess of 25 years. The playground was originally built by the developers who also built the housing estate 25 years ago and should be preserved.
It is a SAFE area for children to play, overlooked by dozens of houses; but not intrusive to homeowners.
Our children deserve so much better than what is currently being offered by society. Childhood is precious and should be preserved.
If this is ignored; hopefully our MP will support our children.

This is a matter for the Council. However, you might wish to involve your local MP?
