Exciting Plans...

I attended a meeting in Boglestone Community Centre last night to discuss the proposals for a new play area and multi-use games area on the land adjacent to the centre. The Three Wards Community Council is working with Council Community Workers on developing this project.

At the meeting we received a presentation from a firm that designs and installs play facilities. The plans that they have come up with are very exciting. However to deliver the facilities that we are looking for will cost around £200,000.

Fortunately the Council has already committed £100,000 towards the project with the Community Council looking to raise another £100,000 through bids to various funders. This is obviously a major challenge in the current climate but you don't get if you don't ask.

The target is to have the play facilities in place for next summer if the funding can be secured.
