Skate Park – Car Park Temporary Closure

As part of Carterton Town Council’s routine tree inspection, we have discovered a maple tree in a potentially unstable condition.  The tree is situated in the car park close to the Skate Park on Upavon Way.

To ensure everyone’s safety, we have cordoned off the car park entrance while we await the tree surgeons recommendation.
