Official Re-Opening of Mayflower Close Play Area

The Chairman of Markfield Parish Council, Councillor J. Williams, accompanied by Councillor K. Sinkpiehl,  and Borough Councillor M. Cartwright formally re-opened the Children’s Play Area on the Mayflower Close Recreation Area in Markfield following the installation of the new play equipment that was partly funded by a grant from Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council.

The Chairman said “that I am very happy to report that this year Markfield was again successful in securing a grant from Hinckley & Bosworth Parish Community Initiative Fund.

This grant allowed us to add two pieces of equipment: a three-tower climbing frame with net plank bridge and a wheelchair carousel to our play area.

The Parish Council remains mindful that as our village expands with a new Jelson housing project, our numbers of young people will increase, so this year we decided to update the well-used community play area and are thankful to the Borough’s funding to allow us to do this”.
