Please read the following statement from Paxton Hood-Williams
Residents in Upper Killay have been watching with interest the work that has been going on in the corner of the pitch close to the children’s play area. Obviously, this has been the installation of a fantastic array of outdoor gym equipment.
The final piece of work, to put down the last layer of the ‘wetpour’ surface, was slightly delayed by the weather, but was completed yesterday. We are very grateful to the suppliers, as apart from the slight delay due to the weather, the installation went completely to plan, and we are grateful to the Sunshine Gym division of Broxap for the efficient way the equipment was installed. Full description of the equipment can be found on their website.
I am delighted that this £42,000 project, commissioned by Upper Killay Community Council, won’t cost the residents of Upper Killay a penny, as I was successful in obtaining grant funding, from Swansea City Council, to cover the full cost of providing this facility. I am truly grateful to the Council Officers that I worked with, who were so helpful in ensuring we got the grant funding, and the panel that approved the funding of the project.
Obviously, this equipment can be used at any time and can be used by any member of the community, regardless of age, and compliments the children’s play area alongside it.
Please use this equipment sensibly for your physical wellbeing, and maximise the benefits of the installation of this equipment.
