Why is council removing play equipment?

Yet another children's playground on the Peninsula is to be removed by Central Coast Council. Why?

In support of Ms Margaret Miles letter in Peninsula News edition 440 concerning removal of playground equipment, Patonga residents have also been told that our fairly new swings are to be removed and replaced with passive space.

This set of swings has been very popular with our grandchildren, as well as all the children of the day trippers that enjoy this beautiful location near the ferry wharf and opposite the hotel.

Surely such a simple item as a swing cannot be beyond the finances of our council, especially considering the ever increasing rates.

I ask our council to reconsider this on behalf of our children who are too young to write a letter.
