'Children have a right to safe play spaces'
A campaigning councillor is calling for a derelict children’s play area in his ward to be refurbished and brought back into use. 4 BwD representative Cllr Rana Gulistan Khan is seeking a reprieve for the Beechwood Court playground in Bastwell.
“It’s disheartening to see this valuable resource for Bastwell’s children and families disregarded, as they deserve a safe and accessible space to play. The council needs to find the funding to refurbish and reopen the area rather than letting it fall into decay. The Blackburn with Darwen Council letter says: “The Beechwood Court play area was originally provided by and in the ownership of Gleeson Homes and was in an abandoned and unfit condition. Following on from many complaints from residents around anti-social behaviour on the site and health and safety concerns raised by local ward members the council acted to take the site under its control from Gleeson Homes.
