When is a Bandstand a Swing?

The SJRA is very disappointed with the outcome over the floodlights, and is even more disappointed with Brian Hoare and the excuses as to why we failed to get the floodlights. In one part of his letter to us he states "We have also attempted to provide facilities in areas that have no play equipment at all and to support community or Friends Groups. If we are to believe this statement then why has £15,200 been allocated to Abington Park bandstand, and another £35,000 for Delapre Park to have a water garden. So what I would like to know is when did a water feature and a bandstand become known as play equipment. The SJRA has never been happy with the way in which the Borough Council handled this project and has never given any explanation to us about what criteria would be used to accept a project. We also asked Councillor Pam Varnsverry to set up a meeting where we could ask some of these questions but alas I feel we would have more chance of winning the lottery then getting that meeting, and with the election only weeks away I doubt we ever will.
