Car park is well surfaced and thus drivers are not distracted by poor surface issues such as pot-holes. Car park lighting is available; a delay switch allows users to exit the hall in light conditions.

Cars entering and leaving the car park are restricted in speed terms by the design of the gate.

Possible risk for ad-hoc users who may not be aware of external lights. Improvements can be made by making it more obvious to such users how the car-park lighting works.

If cleaning liquids and bleaches are left out available to all and any user then there is a risk of misuse and/or mistakes which could be hazardous.

Instructions should be given to all regular hall users that any such material must be kept locked up out of sight in their personal cupboards.

Crush, trips.

The hall has three exits, two are double doors (though the main exit is likely to be only used as a single door).

The exit from the kitchen is sometimes locked, the frame lock should be removed to ensure only the snib lock can be in place.

Longer term, this kitchen door should be replaced with a better exit door.

Car park is poorly surfaced and thus drivers may be distracted by poor surface issues such as pot-holes. Car park lighting is not available. No speed restriction exists to limit entrance and exit speeds.

The use of the pavilion is restricted to a play group and a football club, these are daytime users only.

The field access is also used by the users of the Scout Hut – Cubs, Brownies, their parents etc.

The visibility in the car park during day light hours is excellent and limits the risk.

The use of the Scout Hut on dark evenings presents a risk only partly mitigated by one street light close to the hut.

Longer term the Council should consider the use of the pavilion and field and consider measures to reduce the speed of vehicles entering the field.

The Recycling bins are accessed via the entrance road to the field, often car users will drive in and reverse out onto a non-speed restricted road.

Consideration should be given to making this process less hazardous by either providing a turning circle – high cost – or removing some hedges to improve visibility.

The Council is investigating how the old limestone slabs which make up the surface can be relaid and made safe.
