Playground
Dear All,
The playground surface has been cleaned, repaired, and sanded. Thank you for your understanding during the temporary closure of the playground whilst this was being carried out on Thursday. The sand will disburse in due time.
Both picnic benches have been removed as they were rotten and beyond repair. Replacements in composite material are being ordered and will be installed in approx 6-8 weeks, to be positioned on the grassed area immediately behind the main swings.
A huge thank you to residents who have contributed to enable this work to be carried out, this is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Julie Southworth

Dear All,
I am writing to inform you that Greenmount Playground will be closed on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th July in order to clean and mend the playground surface. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but look forward to having this much needed work completed.
Just to remind you that as a community group, we have to fund this work ourselves as well as replace damaged equipment and furniture. If you wish to donate to the upkeep of this area, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards,
Julie Southworth

Happy walking Joan.

Firing Notice
Dear All,
The Firing Range at Holcombe Moor Training Area (HMTA) has been temporarily closed for the foreseeable future due to unforeseen circumstances. There will be no Live Firing conducted until further notice, we will therefore not receive any Firing Notices due to the closure.
Once the Range has re-opened, we will be notified accordingly, at present there are no indications of how long this closure will last.
Kind regards,
