Dear Spacehive I wish to put on record our thanks for all the wonderful support given by so many enabling us to achieve the repair of our much loved play area. Thanks must specifically go to Ann Higson, Gail Dillon and Lisa Spivey for all their hard work together with the generous donation made by CDC. Thank you everyone who made donations, large or small. You did it!! The project has been completed by Wicksteed whose staff completed the task in record time working over a weekend to complete the job. We are very grateful to them all. Yours gratefully Ray Jenkins Down Ampney Parish Council
We are lucky in that the contractor has had a job postponed so work can start on our playground on Monday 31st January! The playground will be closed from Monday for 2 weeks for removing the old surface and installing the new surface. The site will be contained within heras fencing to forewarn the general public of the works being carried out. An area at the playground end of the car park will be cordoned off to be used as a compound by the contractors. A big thank you to everyone who has made this possible.
Our supplier, Wicksteed, is having quite a few issues and are experiencing not only material shortages but also issues with logistics. Together we have therefore made the decision to delay the re-surfacing until the new year. As it’s a large area Wicksteed feel the weather will be more settled with the chance of inclement weather conditions less likely to put a halt to the works. Disappointing but understandable! Any surplus money once the surface has been completed will be used to purchase new equipment for younger children.
Brilliant news, thanks everyone!
