Earlier today I was joined by the Chair of Alderley Edge Parish Council, Cllr Rachael Grantham, fellow Parish Councillors, Cllr Bev Chapman & Cllr Ali Bates, along with Eddy Yoxall (Parks Project Manager, ANSA) and local resident Pam Smith at the formal unveiling of our new outdoor gym equipment in Alderley Edge Playing Fields.
The project, delivered as part of the Park Masterplan by Cheshire East Council, includes the installation of six pieces of outdoor gym equipment, two new steel accessible picnic benches, soft surfacing and a further refurbished picnic table made from recycled plastic. The project costs are £16,000 including installation, which have been funded through s.106 monies and a £4,000 contribution from the Parish Council.
The formal ribbon-cutting ceremony was led by the Chair of Alderley Edge Parish Council, Cllr Rachael Grantham. I am delighted to see this project, which I have been working on for approximately 16 months, finally come to fruition. I hope local residents will enjoy using the equipment, two pieces of which are designed to be disabled accessible, as well as the improved seating area next to the bandstand.

talking about the playing field, why has the slide been removed?
ReplyDeleteWhy has the slide been removed from the playing field?
ReplyDeleteA safety audit concluded that there was a significant risk and therefore it had to be immediately removed. Much of the underside of the slide and fixings were badly corroded. I remember playing on the slide when I was a toddler, so it has been there for at least 45 years!
