Apparently the council can't afford to maintain or replace equipment anymore, they are also terrified of something happening to a bairn and then being sued. Look at Dunnet, the villagers rallied round, got together a committee and fundraised to provide their own playpark on council ground, I believe that they even had to lease the ground from the council - I could be wrong about that part ? ! it's the way society is going, we work hard and pay our taxes and what for ? the Government are taking less responsibility to provide services, cutting costs or more so insurance costs and the onus is on joe public to provide better faciclities for our kids. Look at Orkney, we spent our holidays last year going round the swing parks on the mainland as the facilities are fantastic. Each primary school has their own swings and why is that because Orkney Council are are subsidised for being an Island. We're practically cut off ourselves in Caithness and what facilities do we have here for our kids ? Exactly !! It's not good
