Playgrounds



Richard Foster of SLDC take note.

We in Ulverston are fed up with your "play it safe" attitude.

We want to be allowed to have more "dangerous" play areas like the one being explored on BBC Breakfast this morning at the Tate Modern this week end. Here "Health and Safety has been brought down to earth with some "dangerous" play equipment.

Somewhere to go and have a bit of challenging fun - I'd love the chance!

At last we get a skateboarding park in Lightburn Park - fifteen years too late - during this time our young people have become increasingly restless.

Now concentrate on the playing field at Croftlands and improve the area in the Honeypot so that the Auction Mart and Abattoir loses it appeal to youngsters.

Norman Bishop-Row, it's time for you to be more proactive and put Ulverston on the map. You with all the other SLDC Councillors outside of Kendal are in the majority.

How come Kendal appears to get all the goodies?

"How come Kendal appears to get all the goodies?"

Kendal was able to get it's act together between the estates, residents, kids, funding bodies to make it happen.

Precisely.

So how is it that Ulverston's Councillors don't achieve more?

I find their attitude very pessimistic even though they are part of the majority group:

They are not proactive.

The councillors representing the area OUTSIDE of Kendal.

Why can't they work together with those from Sedbergh, Grange, Ambleside etc. Difficult but possible.

I've talked to those from Sedbergh and they are certainly interested!
