RAF Halton Haddington Helicopter Play Park – Impact of Vandalism Over the past 12 months, the Helicopter Play Park between Haddington Road and the Princess Mary Gate Estate, Wendover, has been vandalised numerous times at a cost of approximately £8k to the MOD. The play park underwent a full refurbishment in 2015, along with other play areas in the local community, at a cost of £450k but in recent months has been the target of repeated vandalism.
To the local community, this park is a well-used and loved facility. Unfortunately, due to the selfish actions of a few, it may now face permanent closure. Following the recent damage, DIO are undertaking the necessary repairs but will be unable to make any further financial commitment if the vandalism continues. Any further equipment damage will result in the permanent removal of the affected item(s) to maintain safety, ultimately leading to the closure of the park.
Rough Sleeping
Over the night 10-11 November, Sgt Short, Cpl Barratt & Cpl Pingree all slept rough to help raise awareness of homelessness. All proceeds from their BIG Sleep Out will go to SSAFA (the Armed Forces charity) and centrepoint (a youth homelessness charity).
