Now that half term is over, and before the summer holidays begin.... 🌞 we are working on some playground improvements.

Week commencing the 15th June, six items of outdoor gym equipment will be installed in Harness Way Open Space 🏋️‍♀️

New lines will be painted on the tennis courts at Spencer Meadow 🎾

Thank you for your patience whilst these improvements are carried out 😀
