Thessaloniki: New accident at a playground
There was even an accident in a playground in the municipality of Chalkidona, with a 6-year-old girl injured and breaking his arm.
The 6-year-old, according to information, was trying to get out of the railings surrounding the playground, but she brought a padlock at her entrance.
As he complains in GRTimes the president of the Association of Parents and Guardians and President of Primary and Secondary Education of the Municipality of Chalkidona, Stella Valsamaki, “there may be a padlock at the entrance, but there is no sign stating that entry is prohibited, but also not a protective net that prevents children from entering, with the result that many of them jump over the railings and enter the playgrounds “.
According to Ms. Valsamaki, this is how the above accident happened. “The 6-year-old had entered the playground and in her attempt to get out of it, she fell and broke her arm».
The injury of a 9-year-old had preceded
As of mid-May, the 14 playgrounds of the municipality, as well as the additional 15 that are being built in the area, remain closed.
On 20/05, a 9-year-old was injured in a playground in Koufalia, with the mayor of the area conveying then that a few days after the injury of the minor the playgrounds in the area were sealedin order to carry out maintenance work.
“We carry out work in order to get the operating certificates. We found that there were some that needed to be fixed, so we wanted to be very brief. “The playgrounds will open within the next ten days”, Mr. Anagnostopoulos had stated at the time.
The playgrounds in the area, however, remained closed until recently.
