Re-open Lytham Quays playground for children


The aim of this petition is to re-open the Quay's playground; I am raising it in the spirit of healthy, outdoor play for children and to improve facilities for local parents.
The original plan for the Kensington Quays development in Lytham included a play-area for young children and it was also an obligation of Kensington Developments to provide it in order that they received planning approval. Sadly it was closed after a minority of residents objected to the playground and the subsequent noise of young children playing, despite the fact that the playground had been on the original plans.
It is now a considerable distance to another play-area (a minimum of a 15 minute walk) and not an easy option for parents of young children.
I am a resident and parent on the Quays. I have been in contact with Fylde Borough Council who are supportive of this new petition. An application was made last year to landscape the fenced-off playground and this was refused by the Council. Whether a parent or not, please respect the original plan and do the "right thing" for local children.
