More Room for Childrens Play

old disused path at Hinton Close

We have been campaigning for additional Children's play space for a number of years now and we may have come up with a solution that helps resolve the problem for some of the younger children in the area.

We have approached Curo about a patch of land that they still own at Hinton Close suggesting that they may wish to release this land to Bath area Play project who run the Hut at Hinton Close.

The Hut provides Nursery provision and supervised play for many of the younger children in our area and the extra space would enhance the quality of play for the children.

Another Bonus would be is that it also clears up a litter trap.

Curo are now considering this suggestion and we are hopeful to get a decent response from them.

The land can be clearly seen as an old footpath that is no longer used as the new development at Bond Court has rendered this old path redundant.

Bath City Farm Fun Day

Rubber slide

We both spent time at Bath City Farm yesterday at the Children's Fun Day. It was good to see that nearly 200 people turned up and had a wonderful time.

The event organised by Bath area Play Project and the Play rangers was a great success which every one seemed to enjoy.

Children were also able to visit the animals at the farm and partake in a free Barbecue thanks to donations by local traders.

It has to be many thanks to the volunteers that give up their time to make such an event possible.
