Resurfacing Project |
Our long awaited resurfacing within the Playing Field was completed on 17th August 2021. The works saw the resurfacing of the asphalt surfaces within the Playground area, ball court, path and entrance drive. Floor graphics have also been added, these feature ball court markings, hopscotch, fitness trail and 'What time is is Mr Wolf'. Thank you to all residents for your patience on the days on which we had to close the Playing Field. Finally this area has a more suitable and safer surface for all to enjoy and make use of.
