May I take this opportunity to say a really big thank you to the small but determined group who make up The Friends of the Moor.

Their hard work on the latest project, to refurbish and provide new play equipment on the Moor, will finish on Thursday, July 10, with the official opening ceremony at 3.45pm.

A great deal of time and effort was put into applications for grants, public consultations and fundraising in order for this project to go ahead. Thank you to everyone who donated, those who took the time to complete questionnaires, but most of all, thank you to the children and their families who have waited patiently over the past few weeks, while work has been on-going.

Sadly, there were a very small minority who entered the compound and used equipment that had not been safety tested!

So, with excitement and anticipation building in those families who have shown patience, the wait is almost over.

The Moor area is already popular and well used, and a credit to our town.

Congratulations Friends of the Moor, for providing this area which will provide a source of enjoyment for years to come.

Mrs P Newton Knutsford
