Parish Councillors in Lake have launched a consultation with the local community, as part of plans to invest in new equipment in the playpark at Manor Road.
Options include a new centrepiece, accessible equipment, refreshing the appearance and play surfaces, and new bins and benches – if funding permits.
Parish Chair Councillor Paul Brading says:
“Listening to local youths we have prioritised investing in the playpark, with IW Council colleagues, and, as part of the wider Bay Place Plan, this inclusive project is very much an investment in the future of the local community”.
Councillor Tim Clapp, who, with Cllr Brading, is also a School Governor, adds:
“It was good to hear the views of local youngsters, and improving this much needed facility is a priority for Parish, and listening to young people will inform the developments being considered”.
Lake Parish Council have also allocated funding to support the Local Bay Youth Project, school breakfast club, and youth football at Fairway Park, as well as other projects involving young people.
Cllr Brading concludes:
“We plan to consult with the local school, housing association, and other stakeholders before finalising plans with partner organisations”.
