David Blunkett MP supported local residents campaigning to keep Pitsmoor Adventure Playground at their funday in July.
This is the third funday organised by the Playground users group, who want to keep the playground open and run by the Council. Budget cuts have reduced the opening hours to 9 per week, down from 25 hours.
David Blunkett presented certificates to local parents who had completed an introduction to playwork course. He also received a signed football from one of the playgrounds regular attendees. Speaking to parents and children, Mr Blunkett said:
“Well done to everyone for keep the playground open and for working together to do that. I will do everything in my power to help you keep the playground staffed and open.”
