Is anyone is missing a child car seat? It has been dumped next to the dog waste bin at the entrance to Chilton Polden playing field.

If its yours could you please remove it and dispose appropriately.

TAI CHI - While doing our monthly equipment safety check and litter picking, how lovely it was to see a group of local people enjoying their regular Friday afternoon Tai Chi class outdoors in the shade of the trees at the playing field ! 😊

PLAYING FIELD GRASS Our playing field grass is resembling a rather beautiful meadow however no-mow May 🦋 🐝 has passed and it is well and truly time for it to be cut…. The committee have followed this up and are advised it will be mowed next week.

Thank you to all those who took time to complete our public consultation survey recently. Your comments and feedback have been invaluable in informing our application for Lottery funding to replace elderly, worn wooden adventure trail equipment.
Most responses were overwhelmingly in favour of a new wooden play trail designed to be as inclusive and appealing to a wide range of ages and abilities as possible. We have therefore submitted our application to The Lottery and hoping to receive a positive response which can take up to 12 weeks.
Thanks also for your feedback which included any other improvements you would like to see at the playing field. These are noted and will be taken into consideration for future planning and fundraising.
We are also delighted to have had a number of expressions of interest from
People who want to be involved in supporting the running and care of our community playing field
Thank you again! 😊
The survey is now closed

Hi all, we have some information put up at the playing field for those who would like a closer look at the possible layout of a new wooden play trail.
There is also a QR code link to the public consultation survey for anyone who hasn't yet had an opportunity to have their say. This will all help support our application for £20k Lottery Funding to replace the current wooden play equipment which is nearing the end of it’s usable life.
Thank you for your time!
