FREE EVERY MONTH IN WINTERBOURNE, FRAMPTON COTTERELL, COALPIT HEATH, IRON ACTON & WINTERBOURNE DOWN
New era for playing fields VOLUNTEERS who run a major playing field in Frampton Cotterell are celebrating after getting the green light to start a massive overhaul of the play facilities. Beesmoor Road Playing Fields has had the same play equipment for over 40 years, but now over £100,000 is to be spent on installing modern facilities at the site. The work to transform the area is being undertaken by a specialist company and is due to start later this month. The first phase will concentrate on building a tree house, with three phases due to be completed by the middle of next year. It marks the end of four years of planning for the park’s play area. Volunteers have raised money through fundraising events, several grants and money from the parish council. However, fundraising is still going on for the fourth and final phase of the project, with £50,000 needed to complete all the work. Full Story, page 3
