Regarding location, in the report to council it stated “The revised location for the equipment is a technical requirement rather than a preferred opinion. It is not possible to carry out a ‘like for like’ replacement with the new equipment standards in place. Also, installing into a grassed surface is far more cost effective than installing into an existing hard surface so you get better value for money at the new location. The position of the new equipment is negotiable within the new location.” Basically it’s down to technical & safety spacing required for the equipment to be safely used. This coupled with the fact of the additional cost to install in hard standing, we would lose multiple pieces of equipment for the same price. I hope this helps

Great to have the gym equipment back. Location fine. We don’t want to run the risk of loosing it with disagreements about the location. An open space might be better security wise. Loved the old gym and really pleased were getting a new one back.

Great location, easily accessible, better to have gym equipment, than none at all 😀

The new location is fine and perhaps with increased visibility it will be used by even more people. Well done STC. 👍

Closer to traffic fumes, otherwise ok if there’s to be some extra planting to make it a bit more private as before. Also wondering what the technical reasons are for not being able to reuse the original location???

Good to know the gym equipment is coming back. Well done and thank you to everyone involved.

Really loved the previous location as spacious & private but if not possible I am just glad it will replaced so anywhere in Seafield Gardens is great!

Absolutely wonderful this facility is coming back. As for relocation, I understand the old location issue was equipment in a public walk through area. Personally I think the new location is great: if a person falls ill or hurts themself then they can be seen easily from the tennis courts and the road, whereas the old area was quite hidden. And hey, as we're not all down there exposed in lycra, I don't think privacy is an issue! I am disappointed the equipment will be installed on grass rather than all-weather anti-slip surface, and will require regular mowing to keep the area safe, but if the funding dictates hard-standing or decent amount of equipment, then I guess grass wins the day. Thanks STC for funding this project and moving it along quickly.

Pleased to see equipment being reinstalled. There is grass by tge pavilion that seems more enclosed but will be ok where suggested

Ok with the new positioning , but could you explain what the ‘technical reasons’ are for the need of re location?

Please have the equipment. The location is fine.

Having read Dan's clarifications it seems good to me. Will be pleased to see it back again!

I like the new location - workout with a view. 👍 Thanks STC

For those asking about the 'technical reasons' have you read Daniel Ledger's comment giving an explanation for you ?

What are the technical reasons for moving. Feels like it has been shoved in the corner. Would a view be too much to ask?

Perfect, the sooner the better

It will probably be used more if it is on show.over the years the people who used it most have been children far too young to be on it.good to have it back but cars come far too noisy and fast sometimes so hope they don't come through the hedge at any time.

I do hope the walking area is still asesable around this part of the park as our deaf/blind resident's of SENSE at number 5 seafield rd Walk this area...

Great plan, thanks to all invoved

What about the other side of the pavilion further down Castle Hill.. Isn't there a triangular section of grass there?

Location looks great...please give ahead 😊

Fine with me. Shame that they couldn’t be reinstated in the original location. Technical reasons?

Happy with proposal

Well done Pauline Leach for kick starting this and keeping all on target.
