The Walks: Latest news

Site meeting in the rain At a site meeting in the Park (in the rain) Council Officers explained the proposed siting of new teen/adult play equipment to members of the Civic Society, Friends of the Walks and others.
This didn't meet with universal approval.
This author's reservation is that the project apparently isn't subject to the planning process, and it would be better if it was: that way the public are informed and get their chance to comment/applaud/object.
Sorry. Apparently that last statement was WAY too controversial and is withdrawn without reservation. Abject apologies to anyone who had their feathers ruffled or their delicate sensibilities offended. :P

Excellent news! The Multi-Use Games Area (that's the name - MUGA for short, basketball court to you'n'me) has had its floodlighting rewired. The lighting is now in operation with the MUGA lit till ten at night.

Bogged down van at the MUGA Bogged down: one of the Borough Council vans involved in the task didn't notice that the ground is a bit wet at the moment! It got hauled out ok the next day.
Below: MUGA by night.
