Executive Summary – Badbury Park Estate Survey (03/12/2025)
The survey identified widespread maintenance issues across play areas, landscaping, trees, and SUDs within Badbury Park Estate. Several items require immediate attention due to safety concerns.
Critical Issues
-
Play Areas: Multiple sites have damaged equipment, exposed bolts, rough edges, worn mulch/flooring, unsafe gates, and inadequate signage. Several require urgent repairs and reinstatement of regular inspections.
-
SUDs / Basins: All SUDs are heavily overgrown and silted, with broken fencing, no safety signage, and only one life buoy on site. These present significant risk and need urgent clearance and compliance work.
-
Trees: Condition rated poor; a large half-fallen branch at Belcombe Close needs urgent removal. Tree survey is pending.
-
Landscaping & Hedges: General estate maintenance is very poor, including uncut hedges, overgrown paths, untended wildflower areas, and lack of pruning and weeding.
-
Fencing: Several areas, particularly Coatley Close and around SUDs, have damaged or unsafe fencing.
Overall Conclusion
Badbury Park requires a coordinated programme of urgent safety repairs, immediate SUDs remediation, and significant improvements to routine landscaping and inspection schedules to meet contractual and safety standards.
