Dear Fellow Villagers

As you may be aware the Ridlington playground area now has equipment that is upwards of 15 years old and as such, despite remedial works is naturally deteriorating to a point where it is becoming no longer fit for purpose.

The Trustees have been advised by RoSPA that we should consider decommissioning the area before the end of its operating life and in line with our insurance responsibilities and more importantly our duty of care to its users, regrettably, the Trustees have taken the decision that the play area, in its current format, will be dismantled with immediate effect.

If there is sufficient interest in the village to replace this facility, we would be delighted to speak with anyone who would like to form a working party and would be prepared to lead fund raising and project manage this option, obviously with the support and input from the Trustees.

Kind Regards,

Ruth, Julie, Adele and Simon

SOS – Calling for Volunteers !!

Saturday morning 24th April and Sunday morning 25th April 2022

 

The Playing Field Trustees wish to set up a working group and so are seeking volunteers to help prepare the field for the summer months.

The work envisaged includes:

  • Clearing the remaining debris from the site where the old shipping containers were located.
  • Removing the old and worn out football nets and replacing them with new. (already in possession) (Dave Richardson to oversee)
  • Clear remaining debris in the wooded area to clear the way for the “Nature Paths”. ( Karen and Richard to oversee)
  • Tidying up and preparing the Petanque Area
  • Trimming back some of the front and side hedge growth

We have already organised new wire netting to be installed where required as soon as possible to ensure and protect our pets from running out into the road.

We have in mind Saturday and Sunday the 24th and 25th April and would really really appreciate any help you are able to give.

Thanking you in anticipation
Ruth, Julie, Simon and Chris

 

Please call Ruth if you are able to help on 01572 821440 and which day/time to suit. If you can’t make this weekend don’t worry as I’m sure we will be coming up with more dates in the near future!
