Spitfire Close

This area of Spitfire Close in Princes Park a few months ago was an unused piece of grassland. Due to there being no where for the local children to play we have undergone some several steps to make the area more user friendly.

1) At the end of last year large boulders were removed from the area to open up the green for children to play on.

2) In association with local residents a large community clear up was organised to clear the green and the woods to the rear.

3) A football goal was installed for the children to use but was sensitively placed so not to upset the neighbouring residents with stray footballs. This came after months of negotiating with Council officers to get the goal installed after satisfying all Health & Safety aspects.

4) By using ward funds we have managed to purchase a bench and a bin so hopefully the green will not be littered.

This is a job well done by myself and Cllr Pat Gulvin after months of dialogue. If when reading this you feel their are other parts of Princes Park that could benefit from having similar street furniture please get in touch with us.
