Local Liberal Democrat campaigner and candidate for the Clarence ward, Gerard McHale, has welcomed the District Council’s commitment to completing the refurbishment of the Fleetville Recreational play area by the end of December 2014.

“Listening to the concerns of local residents over the failure to complete the work in 2013, I asked Cllr White, to raise the issue with the council and I was delighted that having secured funding in March, we were able to get a commitment to commencing and finishing the work by December 2014.”

“I would like to thank local residents for engaging with us on this issue, showing the public support there is out there for this and I will work with Cllrs White and Burton over the next 8 months to ensure it is now delivered”

Chris White added, “I was pleased to get these commitments from the council, and will work with them and local residents to ensure that the local community is appropriately consulted in the development of this project.”
