Football Field Drainage Playground Football Changing Facility |
Playground for StillingtonAfter various consultations with Public Meetings, - Adults, Youths and Wm Cassidi School we had an idea of what equipment the younger residents would like. The Parish Council recognised the need for a comprehensive Play Area which could not be afforded from Parish Council funds also owned West Street Playing Field Site, therefore were very supportive in allowing the free use of the site for re-development of the recreational area Funding could be applied for by the Residents Association to the Big Funders with reasonable expectations i.e. Big Lottery, Defra, etc. The bids took 18 months to get together and involved proving that the site was needed and would be used, many Quotes, Letters of support from various service providers, Planning, etc.-we ended up, quite a few hundred hours of work later with 28 multiple page Appendices.

Our children now have a facility that any community would be proud of, without whom the children would still not have a playground and the opportunity to develop with adventure and safety
The Residents Association would like to also thank the Parish Council who have donated the cost of ensuing insurance and safety checks since
