In June this year vandals decided to ruin The George Thomas Playground on Prince's Park, one of our area's most beloved playgrounds. They ripped up the tarmac at various points of the park making the whole playground dangerous and completely unusable.

This park is a hive of activity, especially during the Summer holidays. It has been used by families here for generations and now, due to three separate acts of vandalism it has been closed since before the Summer holidays.

I'm asking people from my local community and beyond to help raise the money to repair the park. Our children need this place to have fun, play and make countless memories just as me and my generation did years ago.

The park is going to cost £60,000 to restore - £15,000 of this will be coming from the council which means we need to raise a massive £45,000 in order to bring the park back to it's former glory. We can do this by fund raising, events, and getting our community together to help raise the money.

So as a strong and loving community, let's come together and help our children and grandchildren love this park just as much as we do.
