Sent to London Borough of Bexley less than a minute later. Report ref: 9535983.
There have been multiple reports over the last 6+ months -when can Russell Park be made safe?! Rope climbing structure is broken -one fixing isn't attached. Red hazard tape is in shreds, so not obvious it is broken unless you are a regular visitor. Safety risk Rocking animal is broken -section snapped off. Red hazard tape long since disintegrated Zip wire broken since the end of previous summer. Red hazard tape has disappeared New- Rotating seesaw -one handle has come off. Safety hazard. No hazard tape Broken fence -appears to have been cut/sheered off. Hazard tape so has clearly been spotted by someone in the Parks Team?? Less and less safe things to play on and hazards are no longer obvious as warning tape has worn away. Accidents waiting to happen. Not allowed to upload more than 3 photos to evidence all of above.
