Junior Playing Field Trust.
Grant
applications for £50,000+ were made to install new play equipment,
a "safe" surface, and new fencing to keep dogs out of the area.
Grants submitted in October 2002. The application has been rejected although
we are still hoping to benefit from a few minor grants which will be used
to install more equipment.
At a meeting held on 22nd April 2003, it was agreed that, with limited funding
available, we would
-
carry out repairs to the fencing at the St Michaels end of the field
-
excavate and prepare a new safety surface using bark chippings
-
repair existing "in situ" play equipment and those items in store
-
Widen the bottom footpath, and face up the Cornish bank with St Issey stone
The idea was raised that we hold some form of fund raising event within the community - this will be discussed further.
Update 17th September 2003
Phases
1 & 2 of the work are now completed with the repair to the climbing house,
installation of three swings, an aerial slide, a wobble board, a spinning
log, all with their associated safety surfaces, and a
basketball goal.
2 Picnic benches have been installed, and gates fitted to keep the field secure.
Yet more work is planned, with improvements to the boundary wall and adjoining footpath, and the installation of a sensory garden.
