The post you are reporting:
In all the years that I have lived in this area (well over 50 years), there has only ever been one site in the Priory area, that is on the hills, just under the football pitch, what you are referring to Howard has never been a play area or playground open to public, it belonged to the then Christ Church School and now belongs to the Community centre and is used by the Pre-School that hires the centre, this is not open for public use.
There was one other area on the hills, that was above Hardwicke Road, and was the Maxton play area but this was also removed.
There is a vacant plot of land, that could be compulsory purchased, and that is on the Malvern Road, used at present as a dumping ground, this land in the past has applied for planning permission, it has been granted for housing, but it has never been acted on this has been going on for around 10 years, so if they are not going to build, get the land and use for play area
