Bradpole park

Supply a play park for the children of lower bradpole and surrounding areas.

Why is this important?

Residents of lower bradpole and surrounding areas have to travel a mile and further to the closest playground to play safely . The walk includes crossing a narrow road where there isn't a pavement. The pavements available are often difficult to use for pushchairs as cars are often parked up on them and this also makes it difficult for crossing.
Despite the houses being planned and built for families in mind a nearby park has not been provided for the numerous families who have and are expected in the neighbourhood.
All other areas within bridport designed for families have a nearby park within a safe distance for parents and children. The distance they have to travel should not put a hinder on them attending a park. Parks keep children active occupies and encourages new friendships while saving resources on parents having to travel by car to access play facilities.
The fact that there is a large open, unused, green space that is in the center or lower bradpole that is not being used to its full potential for the residents seems wasteful. This area would be extremely beneficial to adapt into a play park to enrich the lives of the residents and it's neighbouring communities.
