Feature - Playground Improvements
The Parish Council has organised a project to provide extra play equipment for the village play area.
With the help of Tanya Knights they conducted a survey in 2009 to establish what might be provided. Forms were circulated to all households and the responses carefully analysed. The survey showed there is considerable support for improving the facilities on offer. Two new features might be a Play-fort and a Play-wall.
Further consultation with residents involved a display of the options in the village hall. Costs were established and potential sources of funding grants investigated. It was anticipated that £50,000 could be needed to provide all the proposed improvements.
In February 2010 a team led by Cllr. Annie Whiteman made a bid for funding under the Norfolk Playbuilder scheme which has £500,000 available for suitable projects. Denton was shortlisted as one of the best South Norfolk bids.
