Following reports from the public, including a child falling and breaking her wrist, FOCRG inspected this ourselves. According to playground users, the damage has been there for two weeks. We have trimmed the flapping bits of plastic off. The seat is still bolted firmly and children are still using it. However we are concerned that regular safety inspections of playground equipment seem to be less frequent now and repairs are taking longer to be done.
