Improvements to Farm Close Road Rec are complete
The Parish Council are able to announce that the final stages of the improvements to Farm Close Road Recreation Ground are complete. Pollinator shrubs and plants were planted out around the upcycled insect hotel, complementing the train themed play equipment, springers, refurbished swings and additional seating that was installed in 2020.
The project is one of many that the council plan to deliver through their Strategic Plan. This project was delivered with financial support from South Oxfordshire District Council (Section 106 contribution and Capital Grant) as well as a grant from OCC Cllr Tim Bearder and community support.
Many local families have already visited the play area and it is hoped that many more insects and pollinators will find their way too.
Farm Close Road Recreation Ground can be found, just off the footpath between Farm Close Road and Kellham Hall Drive.
