We are grateful to Councillors Debbie Coleman and Andrew Stansfield who have already donated for two defibrillators that are awaiting placement in the park. They have generously given another donation from their budget. This is to be used on the Visitor Centre roof which last week's storm made leak again, a new swing for disabled children in their playground and towards the renovation of the Pavilion when the new skateboard park eventually is established. On top of all this they are also donating a bench in memory of Dave Burns. How about that for generosity?
On Monday at 10.30 am we are starting our Zoom Keep Fit meetings for those of us who need sit down a lot!
If you've been invited the entrance is opposite Debenhams and there is one hour free car parking on a special section of Topping Street Car Park.
