'My child can't use new Bromsgrove playground'

Available for over a year

The upgrades are not accessible for children with physical disabilities, a family claims, with 3-year-old Dakota unable to use the renovated playground just outside her house. Bromsgrove District Council is spending £2 million upgrading playgrounds across the town. Gillian Crosby-Read lives next to the site with her 3-year-old daughter Dakota, who has a physical disability and relies on a walker. They say the council wants to save £25,000 by not making the park fully accessible for disabled people, meaning she won't be able to use it. Lara Davies reports.
