Hammond’s Pond play area consultation

(Date of issue: Monday, 7 December 2009)

Local families and children are being asked to have their say about new play equipment planned for Hammond’s Pond.

A consultation event will be held in the park café this Sunday (13 December) between 1pm and 3pm, organised by the Friends of Hammond’s Pond.

Fundraising is currently underway to replace the current wooden play equipment and local views are sought before any replacements are bought.

Those that take part will be given an early Christmas treat (these will be available on a first come, first served basis).

Sally Ford, Secretary of the Friends of Hammond’s Pond, said:

“Everyone’s welcome to come along to the consultation event as to want to hear from as many local residents as possible. Local views are important to the future development of the park and we hope we get a good turn-out.”

The Friends of Hammond’s Pond are looking to raise in the region of £70,000-£80,000 for the play equipment improvements. Donations are welcomed, contact Sally Ford on 01228 529221.
