Play Area Sub Committee


Further progress has been made during the summer

After protracted negotiation, the Parish Council successfully completed the 25 year land lease for Site B, effective 01 September 2017, enabling the Funding Application to be submitted to WREN to meet their 23 August deadline date.

We expect to know the result of the application by the end of November and if we are successful we hope to make decisions on the play equipment supplier to get the play area completed early in 2018

The Parish Council is delighted to say that progress has been made towards getting a Play Area at the open space as shown on the Location Map (See link below)

Site Location B was selected in October 2016 and confirmed at the Parish Council meeting on Weds 22 March 2017.

A more precise drawing has been produced of the chosen area and in the view of the Council is the most acceptable place

We are now able to progress with the play area, securing  a lease for the land, raising  funds and selecting appropriate equipment

This will take some time to raise the funds, but we are hopeful of having the opening late this year

A working group, including residents, will be formed in due course to help select the equipment

Further to our public consultation last year the parish council voted unanimously on ‘Site B’ as a single site location for a new play area. This is a stretch of grass running parallel with the woods opposite the end of Hampden Road. Thank you to everyone who took the time to return a questionnaire and attend meetings.

We have now applied for a number of grants to fund the works and we will know late spring/early summer as to whether these have been successful.

The working group will reconvene in the near future to discuss choosing the apparatus and landscaping should the funding go ahead. The date of this meeting will be published shortly.

We also attach a presentation prepared following independent analysis of the survey results.
