Playground

Work is almost completed on the new multi-play equipment. It is hoped to re-open the playground on Saturday 10th November. Here are some photos of the new equipment including the recently installed roundabout. We hope that the children of Williton and the surrounding area will enjoy playing on these new items.

Williton Recreation Ground

Due to continuing problems with the old community building on the recreation ground and the high cost of maintenance, the Trustees have agreed to prioritise the replacement of the building and have asked the architect who provided a design for a new pavilion back in 1998, to update the drawings and submit a new planning application on behalf of the charity. The Trustees believe that any application for funding would be looked on more favourably if they are in a position to build on receipt of the necessary financing. The new pavilion building will be sited at the rear of the doctors’ surgery near to the old green shed which would be demolished. The old community building would also be partially demolished leaving part of the building standing for storage. Once the drawings have been received a copy will be available to view in the Parish Office during our normal opening hours.
