Paddington Rec Steering Group

A few days ago we had one of our regular, quarterly steering groups to talk about Paddington Rec with Council officers.

It was a good meeting with much discussed and agreed:

• improvement works to the cafe are progressing well;
• the redevelopment of the bowling hut is underway (delayed slightly due to the bad winter weather) but, hopefully, still ready in time for the re-opening of the Bowling Green in May;
• plans are well progressed for a new 'adult's playground' near the running track;
• we continue to monitor behaviour in the Rec (very little anti-social behaviour or problems) and any issues with dogs (and have requested further visits from the dog warden), and;
• the improvements to lighting at the Carlton Vale entrance have begun.

There are also plans an official opening of the bowling green in mid-May with the Lord Mayor. We'll let you know more when it has all been agreed.
