The council finally caved and gave the green light for the park build which feels surreal considering how long we were just shouting into the void. It really is happening and I keep picturing all the kids actually playing there instead of just us staring at that empty brown patch …
Signatures will be presented to the Parish Council to show both local disappointment at the lack of progress in providing a new play park, and to highlight the local support and need for a play park for our children and community.
Seeing this much energy behind the park is honestly surreal because I remember when it was just me grumbling about empty swings at the dinner table. It is wild to realize how many of us have been feeling the exact same way about this ridiculous lack of progress.

Unacceptable- and 'end of summer' is clearly too late and vague. There is no sense in this. Name me a village with a population of 2,500+ without a playpark...

When the old playground was closed prior to demolition of the hall, the children were promised, or at least led to expect that the wait would be as short as possible until they had a new play area. It is important! It is also a great way to get parents in - coffees; ice creams - footfall!

even though the beeches looks great, its a real dissapointment that the children's play area was the last thing to be thought of. Shouldn't there had been some thought for the kids in the village rather then just thinking about how to accommodate all the sports? this village isn't all about football or cricket.

The old play park was in poor condition yet still regularly used. We've waited so long for the new park and been completely misled. It's families who paid for the community centre through our council tax. The least you could have been is honest with us.

I am very disappointed that the play area wasn't included in the original costing of the new community centre. It is great importance that my boys Zachary and Kaylen have a safe and well equipped play area. Something that has been missing in the village for too long.

Having a young child means if we want to take him to the park we have to go to mildenhall. We were promised a new play area and i'm dissappointed this has taken so long. Please pull your fingers out and get on with it!!!!
