Show Your Support

Hi everyone, We have an urgent request for your help.

As you may know (or not) we have applied for some more grant funding to replace the rest of your playground facilities. We need you to support this by posting messages of support to this request.

It doesn’t need to be a tome just a simple (for example) ‘We really excited that the rest of the old playground equipment is going to be replaced if we can get the grant money because it really needs it.’ ; anything else will also be acceptable in support of course. You don’t have to be a parent but can support the application if you will.

Please reply here as soon as you can and pass the message on if you will. If you know someone that supports but is not on Facebook please tell them and say they can drop a note into the village hall post box and they will be scanned in.

Without this support from the village, the request for the grant will fail.

Playground Open

The Playground is now OPEN.
Fill your boots but please take your fish and chip papers home with you.
The bin is only small and gets full very quickly.

Sweet papers and the like is all it is designed for (and paid for).

Playground Issues

Just to let you all know why the Playground is still not open and to make you aware of the issues involved.

We have real issues with the safety of the playground at the moment which means that we cannot get insurance at present until all the issues are resolved.

Therefore, it is for the safety and wellbeing of all users that the playground is not opened at present. We will of course sing loud and clear when we can finally open it once again.

ROSPA (playground inspection) have been involved and we await their report which they said would be with us this week to confirm or otherwise our concerns and any they find.

However, the contractors have now agreed there are issues which they have found but unfortunately, they have so far not agreed to meet us on site to discuss.

We are in contact with them very regularly and are seeking a resolution that satisfies the safety and usage issues which we know of and any that ROSPA find.

We hope that this clears up why we cannot and will not open the playground until it is safe.

Great news

We have the money for the playground update !!!

We are in the process of transferring the deposit to Kompan and they are seeking a pre-start site visit.

The work should take about 10 days I have been told and we are possibly looking at a May start.

With grateful thanks to Cllr Julie Read and Sarah at Brigg in the office all who led us through the twisty bits of form Filling….

Also to NLC/SSE for funding and North Lincs council for making up the rest.

We could not have done this with them.I will keep you informed as we go.

Playground

Hi Everyone,
Firstly thank you to all those who attended the playground meeting, it was fantastic to see you all.

Sorry it has been a while to post these I have had a few things going on these past few weeks and just haven’t had the time, so… I am going to try and make a playground thread re equipment – here is links to two potential companies, you can view the majority of equipment online…

If people could have a browse and comment on this thread with anything they would like to see,
I will go through the comments and take ideas from this thread!
