Repair and reopen playspace at Baker Crescent!
Repair, regenerate, and re-open our park on Baker Crescent, West Dartford, within the next 60 days.
Why is this important?
The housing developer, Crest Nicholson, have a contractual obligation to care for the park on Baker Crescent.
Shockingly, they have failed this community and after 2 years of delays, the only thing they have done, is replace some flooring, and fix one swing.
Play areas are so important for children, for both their physical health, and as a way of engaging socially with other children in their communities.
Sadly, children in the local area have now lost out on two summers of play and despite multiple attempts by the community and Dartford Borough Council to hold Crest to account, they continue to delay and push this issue down the road.

Everyone has had enough of the platitudes and constant excuses for not updating this park.
We are now coming together to demand Crest fulfil their obligations and provide the play park that is desperately needed, and that has been promised to this community.
