I HAVE been following with interest the downgrading of our play areas by the Health Concern-run district council.

I am flabbergasted to read that the single issue party which now runs our local council are implementing these terrible cuts.

I live in the Hoobrook flats in Kidderminster and many children here rely on play areas as their only recreation from the fantastic views on the 15th floor.

What our local councillors take the swings and slides away, do they expect our children to slide down the side of the flats?
