Planned repairs to the Coronation Park water play area have been rescheduled to avoid clashing with a teachers' strike.

Many Jersey schools are expected to be affected as hundreds of school staff are walking out as part of a dispute with the government over pay and conditions.

A deep-clean was due to take place on Wednesday 5 July but will now take place a week later on Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 instead.

It comes after more than 1,000 people formed a social media group to help keep track of repairs at the park, which has suffered numerous technical issues since it opened in 2022.
