A play space at Preston Close in Ryde has been given a new lease of life after it was redesigned for local residents.
The park on Preston Close has been improved thanks to £37,000 of funding from Sovereign Housing Association.
The project was driven by local residents, with the whole community coming together to decide which play equipment they would like. With residents driving the change, the park now benefits from a brand new swing, two goal frames, a roundabout, springer and climbing frame plus a slide.
Resident Vicky Cartwright said:
“A massive thank you to Sovereign for making this happen and getting it all done for us, we very much appreciate it.”
Toby Eaglen, Sovereign’s Community Investment Lead said:
“It was a pleasure to work alongside the community to reinstate brand new park equipment at Preston Close, and a joy to see so many children enjoying the new area.”
Absolutely brilliant news for the children finally some decent news
Excellent,well done Sovereign
Christ was it all made of Gold 37k?
£37K; that is excessive. Imagine how many homeless people that would offer accommodation to. Call me cynical, but I wonder how long it takes to be vandalised.
Thank the Lord Sovereign were responsible for this project
If it were Island Roads it would have cost at least 4 times as much
and would not be finished yet.
Well done Sovereign
Would’ve been dug up 3 weeks later by wightfibre too.
Good point.
I don’t know who’s worse.
Island Roads or Wightfibre
£37,000 seems excessive but kids need somewhere nice to play. Well done to all concerned.
An easy fob-off, as every green field in the area is covered in concrete, and ever more breeding hutches bedrooms soon filled to over capacity thanks to tax credit funded feral trash, who, in less than a decade and a half will be ‘demanding’ a place for ‘their’ state funded children.
