Trio of awards brings joy to Essex kids
Children from an Essex village will benefit from brand new play
equipment after the local council won a hat trick of awards –
including a £350 voucher from Wicksteed Playscapes.
Danbury Parish Council won first prize in the
‘Children’s Playground’ category of the Best Kept
Playing Fields Competition, organised by the Essex Playing Fields
Association (EPFA), after rigorous inspection by a panel of
judges.
It’s been a good end to a great year for the village,
which has won three awards in three competitions, including Best
Kept Village.
Mike Wood, vice chairman of Danbury ParishCouncil and Robin
Dickens, Groundsman, collects the voucher from Chris Thompson
of Wicksteed
Margaret Saunders, clerk at Danbury Parish Council, said:
“We were absolutely ecstatic to win the voucher and
can’t wait to sit down with Wicksteed and decide what we can
buy from their latest product book.”
Malcolm Webb, Director of EPFA, said: “We’re
delighted that Wicksteed has been able to support our competition
for the last four years. £350 means a lot to our winners,
especially a small parish council who have limited budget for
playgrounds – and the prize makes a hell of a
difference.”
