Marjorie Simpson
Working Hard for Yarm
Snaiths Field
The Town Council has money ring fenced for further equipment to be installed in Snaiths Field. It would seem that this area is becoming more popular than in previous years and at present we are consulting residents as to the type of equipment children would like to have access to here. At present £7500 is available. Should the cost of the equipment exceed this amount, we will have to suggest that the extra funding be included in the next council budget of January 2011.
There is a further proposal of a play area in the Levendale/Leven Park area but there seems to be a problem with the exact location. Stockton Council Officers have visited the Town Council asking for help with this proposal. It was decided that Marjorie Simpson would take the lead on this and continue her previous success in other areas. However, before there is a commitment to any area she wishes that full consultation takes place with residents. Recent articles written in Gossip have suggested that the Ward Councillors are close to deciding which area will be the preferred location but as yet no letters have been sent out to residents. The Ward Councillors usually consult through the pages of Gossip and eventually put the site in their preferred location. This is not good enough as we need the cooperation of residents living close by.
