The Parish Council undertook some necessary maintenance work on the park zip wire today, replacing both the dropper chain and seat assembly, as well as fitting a new damper brake spring.

The new seat unit replaces the one that had been vandalised and had a temporary repair over the winter.

A queue had formed to test the new parts as we finished and the general consensus was that the new seat is a lot less slippery and the bounce from the line spring is much more fun.

Huge thanks to Craig Harriss of Wayland Painting Services for his assistance and use of a cherry picker to safely complete the work.

Our inspection regime has recently increased to weekly, and we have picked up that the surround to the climbing frame base material now needs attention. and will be actioned ASAP.

Next job on our planned maintenance schedule is the Congo Jungle Walk being installed during the one day park closure on Thursday 1 May.
