Play Park provision for the area has been discussed by members of Kilgetty/Begelly Community Council.

At the recent meeting, Cllr Adams reported that a repair was required to the cradle swing at the Begelly park, with the Clerk to chase the supplier on the repair and also the outstanding line painting.

Cllr Wyatt will draft wording for signage relating to ‘no dogs allowed’.

Moving onto Kilgetty play park, Cllr Long reported the group had met with ‘Adventure Playgrounds Wales’ - a company that has supplied schools and councils across the country.

“We asked them to quote for the new playground that incorporates some of the local history,” he said.

“The last quote was from the company that did the Begelly Playground, including a metal fence. If we had everything in the quote, the other thing to note is they would not allow us to have it in piece meal so we could spread the install and the outgoing costs.

“This quote allows us to have the equipment installed over say three years which helps spread the outgoings. We have been asked to review the quote and have been given links so we can pick and choose different equipment should we choose too.”

On the fence options, Cllr Long said there were two quotes to remove the old fence and replace with something similar to what is there now. The quotes include enlarging the area and installing an access gate (same as the new quote in metal).

“These are obviously cheaper than the metal fences but will need more maintenance and will not last as long as the metal fence,” he continued.

“So, do we get the metal fence which will last 20 years plus or the wooden fence and replace it every say 5-6 years?” prompting members to agree on what type of fence they want to purchase, to get matters moving asap.

“The area may need more Topsoil as it very rocky.

“The group need to go over the options in the catalogues and remove/replace items listed in the quote. Once this has been done, we will present back to full council for sign off. We will hold an emergency meeting to move things along,“ added Cllr Long.
