Hiya Guys

First of all I would like to say a big big heart felt thank you to Willow and Terri, for their support.

A little about our project:

We are only a small rural community, made up of 30 houses, 5 cottages, 3 farms and 3 big houses.

Our aim is to raise 60k for the kids play park, as the Borough council won’t do it. They have told us, if we want it bringing in line with all the others within the Borough, we have to fund it. 60K is just for the play equipment and relevant safety flooring. We need another 30K to have the play field drained.

But our ever caring Borough Council keep changing our goal posts. Adding on things we need, which ups the amount we need to raise. i.e. disabled access with bollards (£2,500), and an extra self closing gate (more cost) I have applied for a grant to pay for the path and bollards, then we were told by the council we have to apply for planning permission for the path.

I am a determined, stubborn owd mare, I will not give up.

It is with the help and support of kind people, such as Willow & Terri and the support of the locals that keep the Residents Group going.

Take Care & Stay Safe
