Sarah Hehir: here's to brighter days ahead!

Manor Lane Playground - view looking towards Borstal Marina and Baty's Marsh

I have promised to clarify a few points from my last Blog Post after a conversation with a committee member from Borstal Open Spaces. The good news is that the improvements to the playground are going ahead and should be completed by the end of March. This should be a perfect start to what I hope is a lovely Spring! The bad news is that there is no chance to have any input into the style or content of the playground.

I have also been asked to make clear that the Annual General Meeting on March 17th at 7.30pm is not open to the public but is open to members of Borstal Open Spaces. If you are keen to go and get information on the playground, you can join by filling in your details on the membership form at Borstal Open Spaces and you will be welcome at the AGM. There will be no consultation with the public so no getting too excited about trampolines, sandpits or picnic tables!

I have been told quite clearly that Borstal Open Spaces has absolutely no political affiliations. This is written into their constitution. I have been asked not to post any more details about upcoming events or information of interest to the public. Therefore, if you want to know details about the playground or future events, do look on their website.

Here's to brighter days ahead and to enjoying the green spaces of Borstal and Rochester!
