New Allotments Site

Following a long search and a number of false starts the Parish Council, with the help of the Banwell Allotments Society and the National Society of Allotment & Leisure Gardeners, has now rented some land for allotments in Wolvershill Road and work will be starting on site very shortly. If you are interested in renting one of the allotments, please contact Pat Young on 820133 or patnyoung@sky.com 

 

 

Completion of Upgrade at Banwell Recreation Ground

An event to celebrate completion of the work at the Recreation Ground is taking place on Tuesday, 13^th July from 4pm at the Recreation Ground. All are welcome.

Work has recently been completed to provide a range of new play equipment at Banwell Recreation Ground. There is a multi-use games area which can be used for a range of sports including football, basketball and netball; a Teen Zone circuit climber; and a basket swing. For the little ones there is a ‘hide and slide’ unit, a ‘springie’ helicopter and swings. Appropriate safety surfacing has also been provided.

Whilst the majority of the cost has been met through the funds held in the Recreation Ground charity, the Trustees of the Recreation Ground wish to place on record their sincere appreciation for the financial contributions made by North Somerset Council via the government’s ‘Playbuilder’ scheme (£15,000), North Somerset Housing (£10,000), Bristol Airport (£1,000), Churngold (£1,000) and North Somerset Enterprise Agency (£50).
