Keep Wales Tidy recently visited the Park to inspect the 2nd woods area to see if we have retained our Green Flag Award which we won in 2016.
Members of the FOCBP and Our Place team took the judge (Zoe) around the park and pointed out work that was being carried out, and what our future plans were with regards to the area.
We will let you know the result when we have it.

After the success of last years 5K Carnival Fun Run which was held in the park, another one will take place this year on Saturday 17th June.

If you want to take part please contact Andrew on 07866 622877

Due to the continued vandalism attacks on the Wigwam we will no longer be reporting the issues on our Social Media sites as we believe whoever is doing it is gaining their own kudos by knowing they are causing a public outrage.

However the Our Place team will not give up and every time the work is destroyed they will return to rebuild it.

Also worth noting that even when the vandalism occurs, the local kids come back and help us rebuild it.
Whoever you are you wont stop the younger kids or anyone else from having fun in our park!

Vandalism

Last month we reported some vandalism to one of the info panels in the 2nd woods.

Sadly it was hit again the other day and a big chunk broken off and more stones smashed into it.

Vandalism 4/5/14

We are sad to report that some vandalism has occurred in the park on Sunday 4/5/14.
One of our new interpretation panels which is placed near the rugby club entrance has had a stone thrown at it with a great deal of force. And the result is that the perspex cover has now got a sizeable smash mark in it.
These panels cost a great deal of money time and effort to install design and set up so we call on those responsible to think about what you are doing! this is for the good of the community not just for a few people to enjoy.

If you are spotted vandalising the park you will be reported to the authorities without fail!!!!!!

It is only a minority of people who like to cause damage so we ask you to please keep your eyes out for any suspicious behaviour around the park to the police and do not be afraid to report it.
Also there has been damage to advertising boards in the rugby ground and litter thrown on the ground there as well. A member of the public has reported a lot of noise in the park yesterday afternoon and we think these problems may have arisen then.

The stone damaged panel.

Bike marks in the same area 5/5/14

Remember this is your wonderful community don't let people ruin it for you.
