  • Thank you for your report. We have made the ends of the poles safe with tape as a temporary solution. The job to replace the caps has been raised with the play specialist.

    Today I found two heavy rubber caps in the general recreation ground - obviously removed from the slide unit yesterday. I have taken these home for safekeeping (see photo). From my estimate, there are now 4 rubber caps removed from the slide in total. The metal ends could probably do with being taped up again (to avoid sharp edges) while caps are on order. Note - contact me via e-mail to have the two caps returned
