Anthony Ingham Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Saw this posted today. My kids are way past parks thanks, but the state of this from the photos is an absolute disgrace. How can DbC justify this with the rates they charge? https://www.facebook.com/groups/IOMNewspolitics/permalink/7050248171748516/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they aren’t, it takes less time to join than typing your comment here did, and it’s good comedy. There are some proper nutters in there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took two seconds, rather than saving all the photos and reposting them here with the text. Hard work this place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I have seen the photos and they are grim, equipment covered in rust etc. really no excuse. As a kid I played a lot in Nobles Park and although the swings , etc were basic I.e. two bits of heavy chain and a wooden seat, they were always kept in good repair as was the roundabout and the seesaw. I have also seen pictures today of the flower beds in the top part of the park and they look amazing, really stunning . Credit where it is due. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Buggane Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 A bit of upkeep/maintanance would solve half the problems, But let's just leave it and not have a program in place till its past the point of no return. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Not good and words need to be had re maintenance. I've raised a few issues in other places (rusty fence in summerhill glen for example) and was always told this and that re maintenance budgets etc (we can only do so much). We are not supposed to be active operationally but clearly we need to keep a closer eye on things. This is not acceptable. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Buggane Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Couple of men, chipping hammers wire brush's pot of paint. But then all the men/women who can handle wire brush, pot of paint let go in favour of more and more managers. Yeah that will solve it lickety split. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
