Peterborough families urged not to use council swings and slides to prevent spread of coronavirus

Council run parks remain closed to stop the spread of coronavirus.

However, there have been reports of families bypassing closed signs and using the equipment across the city.

A Peterborough City Council spokesman said: “We are reviewing the situation for all Council play areas, and hope to have an update soon.

“In the meantime, we ask people not to use the play areas that are closed as there are no measures in place currently which make them COVID-safe.

“We do want to be able to open all play areas as soon as possible but we have to make sure that we are following the government guidance and considering the impact this could have on the community transmission of coronavirus.”
