The Parish Council worked closely with the local families and the manufacturer, G L Jones, who specialise in children\u2019s play equipment, to ensure that the new trampoline and roundabout are fun to use, fully accessible and safe for everybody. Regular disabled play equipment will handle loads of 100kg, but the motorised wheelchairs need more than twice that capacity so stronger bearings and additional and stronger springs have been included in this new leading-edge design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wembdonparish.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/100_5159b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"736\" src=\"https:\/\/wembdonparish.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/100_5159b-1024x736.jpg\" alt=\"The accessible roundabout in use\" class=\"wp-image-1463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wembdonparish.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/100_5159b-1024x736.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wembdonparish.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/100_5159b-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wembdonparish.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/100_5159b-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wembdonparish.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/100_5159b-1536x1105.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wembdonparish.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/100_5159b.jpg 1560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Play equipment was officially opened in May 2019 by the Lord Lieutenant of Somerset, Mrs Annie Maw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wembdonparish.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/100_5152a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/wembdonparish.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/100_5152a-1024x483.jpg\" alt=\"Lord Liutenant of Somerset cuts the tape\" class=\"wp-image-1462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wembdonparish.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/100_5152a-1024x483.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wembdonparish.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/100_5152a-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wembdonparish.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/100_5152a-768x362.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wembdonparish.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/100_5152a-1536x725.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wembdonparish.gov.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/100_5152a-2048x967.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2019, as a key element of Wembdon Parish Council\u2019s \u2018Access for All\u2019 programme, the Big Lottery funded new and very specialised play equipment for the park, which really had to be truly accessible to every child.
