Dogs on the Rec

We are please this lively discussion is taking place about dogs on the Rec. Our original list of suggestions came from both dog owners and non-dog owners who had contacted us about their concerns and, after discussions, we have found everyone to be sympathetic to the varying viewpoints. Click on here to see our new Dogs page on the website which has the latest news on the dog signs, questions Rec users have asked us with our responses and the amazing Community Dog Workshops being offered for FREE by local dog trainer, Michelle Moule.

Success with Council funding applications

Many of you will remember completing a survey asking whether you and our followers on Social Media wanted Table Tennis, Adult Gym Equipment, and a Pétanque pitch on the Rec. 93% supporting Table Tennis, 91% wanting Gym Equipment and 75% wanting Pétanque. We are very pleased to report that the Council is prepared to support all of these activities - please click here to see our suggested sitings.

​

We have also been successful in receiving funding to improve the drainage in front of the café.
