Overview
- Homeowners on Cresswell Road say the estate's "playground facilities" consist of a single large log, a few smaller wood chunks, a bench and some stones.
- Residents report paying £2,370 in total since 2022 across about 100 homes for maintenance of the space.
- Complaints include fungus on the log, foxes entering the area and dog fouling, with signage also prohibiting ball games.
- FirstPort says it maintains the developer-installed area in line with its agreement, citing routine RoSPA safety checks, repairs and general upkeep, and says the manager will visit this week.
- Developer Bellway says the feature was installed to planning permission and that ongoing upkeep and related charges are the managing agent's responsibility.
