After almost a year of discussion, consultation and planning the newly refurbished Stonards Hill Play Area is now open, as planned, in time for the hot summer months to allow the children and young people from Epping and the surrounding areas to make good use of the facilities.This project, led by Epping Town Council, cost a total of £74,000 and Essex County Council kindly provided a grant of £20,000 from its Community Initiatives Fund.
The play area incorporates several new design features, like sloping levels, which help to give increased challenge and play value.
Town Councillors have also expressed a wish to really focus on refurbishing the disgraceful play area at Lower Swaines Recreation Ground as soon as is possible, but are mindful of the cost attached to such a large capital expenditure project, especially in difficult economic climate and given the Council’s commitment to keep their share of your Council Tax as low as possible.
