Outdoor gym

We were alerted by a parishioner that the 'leg press' exercise machine in  the new 'outdoor gyms' in Broad Green and the Rec equipment is potentially dangerous to children who can lift it shoulder height and allow it to fall with a heavy hammer-like action. Roy Phillips and I have inspected it and agreed on  the hazard. 

As a purely interim measure we agreed that I would immobilise both pieces of equipment
(in Broad Green and the Rec) and put up notices explaining why and giving PC contact numbers.

The equipment can be quickly and easily reactivated when we have resolved this uncertainty.

In the meantime I tried out various pieces for the first time and they are quite simply brilliant. I'd recommend everyone to have a go.
