Whitnash mayor is on the slide

Parents and residents group Friends of Acre Close enlisted the help of charities and local authorities to pay for a new play area and skate ramp.

Claire Jones, secretary of Friends of Acre Close said: “It’s great to see so many people, from senior citizens and parents to teenagers and toddlers enjoying the park and taking such good care of it. It’s wonderful that Whitnash finally has a park that reflects the community spirit there is in our town.”

Landfill tax distributor Wren’s grant manager Joe Newby said: “WREN is committed to funding projects that make a real difference to local communities, children and families. The new play area and skate ramp will provide a fantastic space for people to get outdoors and have some fun.”
