Community Shelter for Dove Park

Wragby Parish Council has committed over £9,000 to providing a Community Shelter in Dove Park, including £8,000 for the Gazebo type construction and £1,150 for the hard core and concrete base. Councillors discussed the actual area for the shelter and agreed the ideal site would between a mature tree and the church, set back from the road. An additional street light is also to be requested as the footway in that area is quite dark and it is thought it will serve a dual purpose and provide illumination for the shelter too.
A request was made for a youth shelter when the Parish Plan was drawn up as there is nowhere for the young people of Wragby and District to meet and the Parish Council feels that the shelter will provide for the young and the elderly jointly.
A request is to be made for a contribution towards the cost from a police fund which helps to provide youth shelters in communities to enable the young to have a space to call their own.
