Eynsham Online - Witney Road Play Area

REVAMP TO A PLAY AREA

« Eynsham's Witney Road Play Area now has a re-vamp to improve the facilities and the approach. Planning took many months and owes much to interested parents, youngsters and neighbours who gave us their views and helped us to make the area something to be proud of!
With tendering complete, the Parish Council applied for grants towards the total cost of £44,417.35. Other items may be added to all three play areas when funds permit; do send in your suggestions ! More about the budget HERE

JANUARY 2008: West Oxfordshire District Council has announced a grant of just over £18,500 towards the project - easily the largest recreational award. A total £28,000 was agreed for the entire district.
