You may recall that around this time last year I wrote to the Friends Group asking if they would support equipment for the play area for older children. Unfortunately, only a handful of people responded to this email which meant we were unable to obtain the funding, as we could not prove the need for this.
As you will have seen from the minutes of our last meeting the lack of exercise equipment for older people was discussed once again. It was agreed that we would look into the provision of some outdoor gym equipment for which funding will need to be secured. See below examples of the gym equipment. It would be greatly appreciated therefore, if you wish to support our endeavour to provide evidence for our funding request, you could let me have your emails as soon as possible.

Chesterfield Borough Council with the assistance of Wildlife Trust are currently undertaking the planting of the Jubilee Trees at the bottom end of the field. Next week they will fence the areas off to ensure the trees are protected in the longer term and to provide some protection for ground nesting birds etc..
