There has been a spate of vandalism at several play area’s in/around the Whittlesey area.
Today I had a meeting with the Managers of Parks and Open Spaces.
As some maybe aware, Whittlesey Town Council and Whittlesey Street Pride are in advanced stages of being able to replace ALL the Picnic Benches in the Manor Field.
The present ones are getting old and need maintaining, some have been vandalised and removed.
The ‘plan’ is to install 8 in total (including 2 access/disabled friendly) fully Recycled British Plastic Picnic Benches later this year.
Street Pride and myself have spend a considerable amount of time in getting funding for this project.
Todays meeting was to agree on the exact locations.
Given the recent vandalism to the play area’s – it would be a great pity if anything should happen to these Benches once installed.
This is a one time opportunity and I doubt if funding would be available again for some considerable time…..
We have some of the best play equipement in the area, as the success recently at the Snowley Park play area has demonstrated.
Please, I ask that this equipment and all our play equipment be looked after.
