Multiple Use Games Area for Croftlands

After much lobbying the MUGA, as they are called, has been promised by the end of this year.

This means that it will only be nine months after it's original scheduled installation date in the Spring of this year.

The two MUGAs, one for the Honeypot and the one for Croftlands were both approved at the same time, almost a year ago. Why has the one with Bishop-Rowe in charge (Conservatives) had a massive delay. It would be good to receive an explanation but Norman does not believe in replying to those outside his ward.

The reply from the SLDC officer has finally come through today.

Requests for a self build skate board area (costing the Council nothing) have so far not received an answer despite the request being made in July last year.

There is definitely a need for a vigorous community group to represent the area if Croftlands is not to continue to be starved of facilities for young people. This was seen as the top priority by local residents during my door to door visits last year and earlier this - especially when the youngsters were to provide these for themselves.
