The play equipment at the Haddenham Recreation Ground is in need of upgrading. The Recreation Committee has met and decided that it should be the next project.

Some of our Parish Councillors can remember playing on the equipment when they were children.

The new houses being built in West End has given us an opportunity to replace and upgrade the play area. “Section 106” money from the developer can be used for this purpose. We intend to apply for additional grants as well so we can do a really good job.

The first thing that is required is to know what the children would like.

I intend to make sure a survey of the children and young people is carried out. I hope that we can arrange for an online survey, questionnaires at the school and nursery groups, an exhibition of possible items of equipment and door-to-door survey forms.

Would you like to be involved? If so contact me at gareth.wilson@eastcambs.gov.uk.
