More and more parks have closed down and now there isn't one playground for children on the whole west side of Ashington, effecting thousands of children from Bothal Primary Upper site, Bothal Primary Lower site and Ashington High School. It's not fair and we want somewhere to take our children to play within walking distance!
Why is this important?
It's sad to see the playground and bowling green have been knocked down recently at the demolished Institute and Leisure Centre, as well as the beautiful park that was demolished on the Peoples Park field many years ago. The children are in desperate need for a free place to play with swings and a slide. Not every family can afford to pay for the new Leisure Centre facilities that are currently surrounded by a derelict building site and is a danger to children on the busy roundabout.
