When I was a child, and particularly when I had my own two children, the summer holidays could seem rather long. Babergh, through the ‘Big Babergh Initiative’, is helping out by taking a mobile skateboarding park, plus other play equipment along with a specialist playworker, around the District. This morning the ‘Initiative’ came to Great Waldingfield and, although it was early when I went along, a number of children had already arrived to take advantage of the opportunities on offer. Babergh Community Development officers, plus Kate Hazelwood, Babergh’s lottery funded playworker, are pictured above with an early-bird participant.
While at the school I was able to see for myself the progress that has been made on the new building for the First Steps Playgroup. As you can see from the shot below its growth has been amazingly rapid. I understand that the project has not been entirely problem free, but happily all is still on course for the opening in early September.
