Hi everyone,

Our local Cllrs Anita Cooper, Julie Sloman and Paul Galley are really frustrated about how long the Council are taking to replace the playground at Anchorsholme and we are calling for immediate action from the Council on:

1)Replacement of the playground equipment destroyed in the arson attack.
2)Repair or removal of all broken and unsafe equipment.
3)Ensuring the playground and surrounding facilities are completely safe.
4)A firm timetable for the new playground design, consultation, procurement and installation.
5)A clear plan for securing a new operator for the cafe when it closes.
Improvements to the wider park environment.
6)Appropriate security measures to protect the park and its facilities.
Regular public progress updates so residents know what is happening and when.

To kick start it, we are investing £10,000 of money from the Park charity towards the playground and surrounding security for the Park and area.

Anchorsholme Cllrs Anita Cooper and Paul Galley have been working with children from Anchorsholme Academy on designing the new play equipment to replace the burnt out ship.

The school and the children have been absolutely fantastic and their design ideas will be fed back to the manufacturers. Once the designs are then put together by the manufacturers everyone Including the children will be given the chance to vote for their favourite design.

Installation will be spring 2027.

‼️ Guys Thatched Hamlet closes suddenly after 46 years

Not Blackpool‑related this time… but let’s be honest, most of us have been here at least once.

The much‑loved canalside spot located just off the A6 near to Preston has shut its doors without warning, leaving locals shocked and staff unsure what comes next.
