Big story this one.We've got the first draft of the plans for sorting out the Weston Playing Fields - a project that all residents know is well and truly overdue.
To re-iterate - this is the first draft. There's nothing compulsory in here, it's all up for discussion, and the truth is we might not be able to afford everything anyway. However, my view is that endless chitchat about what we'd like to see will go on forever unless you've got something solid to base your discussions around, and that's what this is.
I'm looking for your views on everything, from what facilities should be provided, to how we keep them (the children and the facilities) safe. I'm especially concerned about the impact this will have on the houses that back onto the park.
If you've got comments and views then you can either email me (cllr.darryl.beckford@cheshireeast.gov.uk), or leave them here. I will ensure that any comments I received through whatever channel are feed into the next stage.
This is the outline "zone" plan which shows how we propose to break up the site:

The key features are:
* New play area at the portland walk end
* Football pitch will be retained by with better drainage
* Present basketball court will be turned into a multi-use games area with a wheeled sports (bmx, skate) area next to it.
* The present hill at the Kendal Road end will be landscaped as a wildlife area.
The play area at the Portland walk end will be focused on "natural" or "free" play, with an older audience in mind.

The intention is that they are features which are a little more indestructable than normal play equipment, and stimulate the imagination more.
I look forward to your views.
