We are disappointed to report that a safety surface has been vandalised at Tiger Moth Way play area.

As with cases such as this, the cost of these necessary safety repairs will be taken from the town council's maintenance budget, affecting plans to improve facilities elsewhere.

It was great to see the people of Endymion Road host a VE Day celebration at the weekend, funded in part by our street party grant, made available to residents, community groups and not-for-profit organisations.

We're looking forward to seeing what other streets in the town put together!

Our Estates Team have planted new hedge sections along the perimeter of Roe Hill play area, to eliminate the gaps leading directly onto the road at Briars Lane and ensure it is safe for everyone.

Temporary fencing has been put in place to help these hedges establish themselves.

We are extremely disappointed to report another occurrence of vandalism at Roe Hill. We would like to ask parents to remind their children of how mindless acts of vandalism have a negative impact on community facilities.

Money will now be deducted from our budget for repairs.

Come visit us tomorrow at the Roe Hill Community Hub, where we'll be joined by members of our local policing team. They will have a stall set up where you can have a chat and gain some insightful tips on crime prevention, staying safe and getting the help that you need.
