Rosemary Close History
• The original Rosemary Close Play Area was
commissioned by Barrett Homes and installed by Welsco in 1997. It was
subsequently passed over to Bradley Stoke Town Council.
• The original equipment was of mainly timber construction and designed
for pre-school and lower primary age children. This was removed on H&S
grounds in July 2007. Money was put aside over the last two years to
refurbish the Play Area, £35,000.00
• A community Consultation was carried out by Southern Brooks Community
Partnership in November 2007. The popular items were Slides, Climbing,
Rocker /see-saw and swings. We were asked for the age range to include
upper primary to reflect that the children in the area are older.
• Bradley Stoke Town Council sought four quotes and they were presented
to Council. Record RSS was chosen as having the most and the most
imaginative play items, which were also suitable for less able children.
• The new play equipment items to be installed are:
- All Steel Venturer Configuration Multiplay unit comprising:
2 No 1250mm high towers, complete with DDA stairs, Fireman’s Pole,
Glacier Entry, Hand Over Hand Beam, Loop Climber, Ring Bridge, Under
Deck Seat, Vertical Climber, Wheelchair Transfer Deck, and 1250mm high
wide slide
- Devils Island Swing which is like a basket and suits all ages and
abilities
- Dragonfly reclined See-Saw
