News From The Nook




Needham Action Group are very pleased to announcethat during these weeks of lockdown and slow down, work at The Nook has been hotting up and new features are emerging! If you haven’t been down there recently, it would be well worth a look - though we ask
you to please respect the hazard tape whilst it is still in the build stage and do not climb just yet! Installed already (and with finishing touches happening as we go to press) is an adventure climbing area for children and young people... and even the odd adventurous adult! Meanwhile a shelter/bandstand is in the process of being erected, which we hope will be used and loved by all, and will be an asset for any outdoor community events. Over the coming months we have plans to add a swing and some football goals (all in keeping with the natural wood theme).

In other news, Needham Action Group were fortunate to be granted a second pot of money earlier this year by South Norfolk District Council which should see the project through to completion, and our great thanks go to Fleur Curson who worked hard to get the application completed on our behalf. We are also very grateful to Awards for All who have funded all of the lovely play equipment that is currently being installed, as well as the beautiful picnic bench and the bridge.



Many thanks to those of you who pass through and pull up the odd weed, or pick up stones and take them to the edge. As a recently worked field, stones will continue to push through to the surface, so please take care and continue to remove stones if you see them in order to protect both yourself and others who use the field.
We hope that this summer we will be able to hold a spatially distanced event to celebrate the completion of the project - so please keep your eye out for information, and get in touch if you are willing to help make this happen.
As always, very many thanks to all those who have made this project possible and who have supported the work of Needham Action Group.
