Chair Tony Brown hopes to have the bowling green area open by Easter

The chair of Castletown Commissioners says work is ongoing to replace and refurbish the children's play areas in the town. 

A complaint was brought forward at the commissioners meeting last night about a hole left where the zip line in Poulsom Park was removed due to safety concerns. 

The local authority confirmed it has an 'ambition' to have the small play area at the bowling green open with new equipment by next Easter - following its closure earlier this year.

Tony Brown says a report was carried out for all of the play areas and issues are being 'prioritised' due to a small number of staff.
