Park railings could cause an accident if not replaced, warns Council

Douglas Council is looking to replace the railings at the teenage play area in Noble's Park as soon as possible as they pose a health and safety risk.

The local authority believes the railings currently in place are likely to cause an accident.

Replacement railings costing just over £12,000 had already been approved by the Council, but the company awarded the work underestimated the cost.

Following a new tender process, the Leisure Services Committee now needs to seek a further £6,600 from the Risk Management and Special Projects Fund.

The full cost of the replacement will now be just under £19,000.
