Argyll and Bute Council has given up hope of finding a short-term solution to fix the currently closed Oban Community Play Park. The park for five-to-15- year-olds has been closed since March after it failed a safety inspection because sections of flooring had become hazardous.
An Argyll and Bute Council spokesperson said: ‘We had been exploring the possibility of carrying out temporary repairs so that the park could be opened in the meantime and until a permanent solution could be found.
‘Unfortunately, it has since been established that temporary repairs will not be possible and we are now working to move towards a permanent fix as quickly as possible. We will remain in contact with the community throughout the process and we once again thank them for their patience and understanding.’
