A meeting was held in the Fisherman’s Rest lower bar last week to discuss the future of our playparks. A good number of people attended to talk to some of the parish councillors about what equipment was available and which items people wanted for A.G.. Councillors Ros Brousson, Peter Smith and myself attended and the discussions were very interesting, hopefully after more consultation, we will continue to have decent play facilittes here.                                                                                                          Â
