WE DID IT - ULEY PLAYGROUND HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY RENOVATED AND IS NOW OPEN!! We have a small car park adjacent to the park or street parking on Raglan Way. The renovation: During the past 18 months we have all realised how important open spaces are to our well-being; particularly for our children and young people. We have been working together with local play area consultants to come up with idea
s to make the playground an inviting and interesting place to spend time in the fresh air and appeal to children, parents, grandparents and carers. The playground was originally created by volunteers and dedicated to the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. It was officially opened in May 1978 by HRH Princess Anne. Some refurbishment work was undertaken in 2002, at the time of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. We believe it would now be especially appropriate if we could achieve a major makeover of the playground to celebrate our Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022! The Uley Jubilee Playground is an asset of Uley Parish Council which pays for inspection, maintenance and repairs out of its annual budget. However, the PC does not hold capital sums to fund projects such as this. The capital cost must therefore be raised by the project group from other sources. All monies raised will be handled through the PC’s bank account, ensuring complete transparency and the upgraded asset will remain the property of your Parish Council.
