Changing Places

A new use for a neglected Pavilion in Forde Park was the order of the day when I was invited to open the newly refurbished venue to provide a wider community use in this lovely area of Newton Abbot. Teignbridge Council and the Police have joined forces to increase the use and range of activities available for young people. Combined with this initiative is the refurbishment of the tennis courts to create a top class all weather area for groups such as the Police Cadets to use for organised sporting activities. Regular use of the Pavilion and outdoor facilities by local organisations and young people will improve the quality of life of residents and young people in the park.
