Moyle District Council - Let the Children Play 4 Free




Mutiny on the Bounty

Moyle District Council has provided many excellent free play areas around the district that are used by local children as well as by visitors. 

Why have Councillors set aside part of the sand-pit at the end of the marina for commercial use? Surely free and commercial areas should be separated so that parents can enjoy watching their children play without the distraction of, perhaps, additional facilities that they can ill afford. 

Will this plea fall on deaf ears or do Councillors have hearts of gold?

West Bay Promenade


Shouldn't there be lanes to separate walkers and cyclists?


Cyclists dismount sign needed where path narrows.


This dismount sign should face the cyclists.
It should also be much closer to eye level.


Should there be cycling on a promenade*?


Small children could walk head first into the handrail projection.
Men could have an eye-watering experience.
Why wasn't this handrail curved into the main handrail?


A lesser hazard but still a hazard.
There are several short lengths of wooden-topped handrail 
which project 100-120 mm inside the main handrail.

*PROMENADE

A paved public walk, typically one along the seafront at a resort.

A leisurely walk, or sometimes a ride or drive, taken in a public place so as to meet or be seen by others.

(In country dancing) a movement in which couples follow one another in a given direction, each couple having both hands joined.
