New equipment could be installed at three playgrounds in Kirk Michael.

Michael Commissioners has submitted three applications to planners.

They relate to Crowe’s field, off Main Road (17/00135/B), Ellisons’s Green in Cannan Avenue (17/00136/B )and Broogh Wyllin play areas (17/00138/B).

In relation to the Crowe’s field play area, the application states: ’The play equipment is old and well used so needs to be replaced.’

Meanwhile, the intention at Ellison’s Green is to ’provide a small piece of equipment for children to play on while families picnic in the area’. Benches have already been installed.

Michael Commissioners described the play equipment at Broogh Wyllin as ’very well used but now needs replacing or upgrading for the children of the village and any visitors.’
