It has been an awfully long time coming, and a lot of people have put tremendous energy into the project, but the new play equipment for the village has finally started to be put in place.
Whilst there are times when being a parish councillor seems to be about minor bureaucracy and generally being ignored by other tiers of government, it is always nice when my colleagues and I can deliver something that enhances village life, and the new play equipment, on the field that the Parish Council now leases on a peppercorn rent, will hopefully give children in our village a safe place to play.

In truth, my role has been predominantly as an onlooker, agreeing next steps, confirming that we have the funds to carry out various tasks. The hard work has been done by our Parish Clerk, who has driven the project on, the former Community Council, who raised so much money, to Mid Suffolk District Council for supporting us with additional funds when they were truly needed, to the Marland family whose land we are renting, and to everyone who has contributed time, money and enthusiasm.
It's a bright day in Creeting St Peter...
