Weir Youth Provision

Weir is situated in a rural location on the road from Bacup TP Burnley. Currently there is a well used children’s play area which caters for youger children including swings, climbing frames and trim trail equipment. The lower half of the playground is a sloping grassed area which is used by local, older children to play football and other team games. However this area suffers from poor drainage and the severity of the slope. It is also often fouled by dogs.
It is proposed to install a spider web climbing frame and updated swings to the fully enclosed area. A new pathway through the site will open the site and provide better access for all. Along this path will be benches and extra litter / dog bins. The main feature will be the creation of a flat grassed area to be used for football, cricket, etc. This area will also be enclosed so dogs do not have access.
