Some Lottery Cheer

After a gloomy start to the year, I thought it would be nice to report some good news. Firstly, it was a relief to hear that someone has owned up to the damage done to poor King Alfred, and secondly that we are to see some funding for play projects in our area from the National Lottery. Readers will know that the Vale won some money last year through the People's Millions, so now The Big Lottery Fund has awarded £200,000 to the Vale of White Horse to support children’s play projects.

The full story can be found here but Wantage will be one of the three schemes which will benefit. North Hinksey Louie Memorial Field, the Memorial Park in Wantage and the Watchfield Play park are to have play improvements. We should hear more soon once public consultation starts and hopefully children will be involved with this.
