We were very pleased to open the Play Area on Saturday 16th July when we welcomed Cllr Martin Hatley, our Test Valley Borough Councillor who has supported this project throughout. We would like to thank Test Valley Borough Council (£22500) and Hampshire County Council (£500) for their generous grants towards the funding of the play area. In addition, we are especially grateful for donations of £1300 given so generously through Crowd Funding by the community and beyond. Finally, £22500 has come from the precept which we all have contributed to as parishioners.
Chairman Jane Bennett extended a special thank you to Cllr Sally Yalden and Cllr Richard Brazier who have taken the lead on this project from start to finish. William Horton and Lilly-Anne White who are pupils of Braishfield School were invited along to cut the ribbon. We hope children will enjoy many years of playing here.
