MOULTON councillors are investigating how to keep the village playing fields secure.

At the parish council’s latest meeting, clerk Elaine Beech reported the latest damage to the entrance.

She said: “One of the concrete bollards has been damaged and somehow rolled across the car park to the other side, which leaves quite a big gap.

“Once again the chain and padlock have been damaged and are lying on the ground.

“I contacted Northwich Town Council about extending the knee rail to within a couple of metres to the end of the fence to the play ground.

“We want to leave sufficient room for a double buggy but demonstrate the restriction of access.”

She said the problem was children playing on the chain.
