A broken gate so dogs can get in and foul....nice...
A mouldy, static horse...what a thrill!
Rust, just what you need on a climbing frame...
That looks solid...
More rust.... Hi again. I looked at the photos I posted last time and thought "they don't really tell the whole story". They show a fairly dull, unspectacular playground but don't show how grotty it really is. So, I think you're ready for the warts and all pictures now... not pretty are they?
Rust, mould, rotten wood and dilapidation. Just what you want your children to playing in eh?
Well, we're not going to sit around and let those that can vote with their feet (or, more accurately, cars) and those that can't get stuck with the above.
We have a plan. It's going to make the play area safer, more exciting to play in, prettier and, hopefully, much much busier. It will cost money though. Doesn't everything? So, we've done loads of research and found out that the best place to apply for that sort of money is the Big Lottery Fund. There has been a lot of work involved in making the application but we're nearly ready to submit it.
In later posts, I'll set out some of the things we've had to do for the application and more details about what other people in the village have had to say about the play area. In the meantime, I hope some more people from our group , and in time from the wider area, will post some of their views about the play area and our quest to make it better. All comments gratefully received.
