Park project update

We hope to have the first phase of the park project completed by Spring.

This first phase will include improvements to the play equipment area. The ground will be prepared and drainage put in place. A further three items of play equipment will be installed which will include a roundabout for children in wheelchairs and/or buggies which can also take able-bodied children. The area will be fenced off and a hedge will be planted. It is anticipated that the work should be completed in time for Spring next year, although with the current weather it is hard to imagine.

It has taken a long time to have this first phase completed, but securing funding is difficult in the current climate. We have also been working closely with East Dunbartonshire Council's Greenspace Department who have been extremely helpful. It is also with thanks to all the organisations who have given us grants to reach this stage and would not have been possible without their generosity. There are many people to thank to just get to this stage and they include local residents and our three local councillors along with those who gave us grants - Tarmac, Milngavie Community Council, Awards for All, WREN, East Dunbartonshire Community Grants Scheme, and funds should be forthcoming from our Councillors' Ward fund. We shall continue to update as the project nears completion.
