🏗️ An update on the decking at Blunham Playing Field
As some of you may have noticed, the decking area at Blunham Playing Field has deteriorated significantly over time and has now reached a point where it is no longer safe to use.
Following consideration by the committee, we have taken the decision to have the decking removed on safety grounds. The area is also currently underused, so rather than simply replacing it like-for-like, we want to take the opportunity to think about how the space could be put to better use.
As a committee, we’ll be exploring ideas for what could replace the decking, with the aim of making the best use of the space for our members and the wider Blunham community.
⚠️ Important safety notice
Now that the decking has been removed, we ask everyone to please stay away from the area. There are blocks bedded into concrete and concrete posts remaining underneath, which present potential trip and injury hazards.
