Work is set to resume at a fenced-off playground in Wiltshire ahead of its opening to the public.
The play area was built as part of the Hawthorn Meadow housing development in Marlborough to serve families in the northeastern part of the town.
But 18 months after the last affordable properties in the 39-home development were occupied, the facility remains fenced off and closed to the public.
Marlborough Town Council has been in discussions with developer GreenSquareAccord, which must complete remedial works at the site before handing over the playground.
Following these discussions, it was announced remedial action will start on August 4.

The town council says GreenSquareAccord has found a landscape company to carry out maintenance and remove debris from the site.
It must then be certified by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents and Wiltshire Council before it is handed over and opened.
A spokesperson said: “We are ready to take on and open the play area and have a funded plan in place ready to go, which includes creating a path to link the amenity area to Bay Meadows nature reserve.
“Like residents of the northeast of the town, we hope there will be activity on site very soon for the final push to get this work finished and open to the public.”
