PUBLIC CONSULTATION - KINGS WALK PLAY SPACE

In June 2010 Leicestershire County Council informed the Parish Clerk that the Playbuilder Funding was in jeopardy and that any future works should be stopped.

After a few weeks of uncertainty LCC then announced that the funding had been withdrawn and that no further work was to be done on the project.

The Parks & Hall Committee are now working to find a solution to honour their promises to the young people of the parish to provide new and exciting play equipment for Kings Walk Open Space.

After considering the matter, the members of the Council agreed that they would support Councillor Parsons request.

Leicestershire County Council and Leicester Forest East Parish Council will now enter into negotiations to start the process.
