What the Gang Do In Fairy Dell

Our community's outdoor exercise equipment is a fantastic resource, but we noticed it was becoming tricky for some people to use. The matting around the equipment had become uneven and compacted, and the area was also prone to flooding, making access difficult and sometimes unsafe.

We're thrilled to announce that thanks to a successful application to the Middlesbrough Council's Community Grant Programme, we've been able to make some much-needed improvements!

Our dedicated team of volunteers has spent the last few weeks hard at work. They've been busy digging out the old matting, installing a smart new boarded edge, and filling the area with drainage stone. To finish it off, they've laid down protective matting and a fresh layer of woodchip.

This project means a safer, more stable, and flood-free surface, ensuring everyone in our community can continue to enjoy the benefits of the outdoor exercise equipment. A big thank you to our amazing volunteers and Middlesbrough Council for their support!
