The team working on the development of the village play area (that’s David Mason, Katharine Langley, Ros Caffyn and William Betts) are delighted to have received a grant allocation from WREN of over £47,000. Along with over £3,000 raised by Uptonogood earlier in the summer; £5,000 contributed by the Parish Council and about £300 given by UVHAT, we have now raised enough money to make a significant improvement to the village play area. We’ve done a lot of work since October last year, when we started this project by asking all village residents what they wanted from the play area. With this grant, we’re now really looking forward to making the improvements that you requested.
