I believe that the grass area opposite Bay Merchants should have new basic Play Ground equipment installed to replace the very old existing stuff. The old swing was removed by Council and not replaced. The area is often used by families who purchase “take away” meals from both Bay Merchants and Valentine’s on the crescent. Parents and kids enjoy
what is there but it is time for renewal.
