Coventry North East MP, Bob Ainsworth has called upon the Council to be open about their plans for the Wyken Community Centre Adventure Playground.

Residents have reported that one of the Wyken Councillors is saying that there are big health and safety problems with the adventure playground, which will have to close.

When Bob Ainsworth contacted Council officials they said there were a lot of problems but no decision has been taken to close the centre.

A meeting has been organised for 8th September to discuss the issues with the users of the adventure playground.

Bob Ainsworth said:

“There are few amenities in Wyken.  The adventure playground is important and a lot of people have worked hard to make it a success.  With all the anti-social behaviour there has been in the area the council would be irresponsible to let it close”.
