Complaints procedure notes

We are always pleased to hear from our users and you can contact us by any of the methods above.

Obviously, positive comments are very welcome, but it is just as important to us to hear if people have any concerns as we are constantly striving to make the Playground the best it can be.

We hope any concerns can be allayed by talking to the Playworkers or to Gary Warrington, the Playground's Manager, however, if you are not happy with the response you receive, we do have a formal Complaints Procedure.
