PC Facilities - Play Area
The play area was created in 1995, thanks to the hard work of a
small group of people, some of whom still live in the village.
Twenty years of British weather and active use by many children had
taken its toll and it is opportune that all new housing developments
have to provide funds for local play facilities.
Although the money will not be received from the developers until
the developments are 50% occupied, the PC has been able (in March
2017) to use existing funds in
order to replace some of the oldest equipment and to
improve the experience for older children. Children at the
school were consulted and the new equipment is shown below.
Later in the year it is planned to lease a further plot of land
from Great Melton Estates (who kindly provide the playing field land
for £0.05 per year!) and to install a practice goal near to the
tennis court. This will save wear and tear on the main
pitch and on the tennis court netting - which recently had to be
replaced, partly due to people kicking balls into it!
Please record an observation if you visit the play area - even if there is no problem (it can take 10 minutes for an observation to appear below and you will have to refresh the page). The insurers require that it is inspected weekly - see notes and records.
