URGENT safety notice
We have had reports of a man acting inappropriately at Fred Taylor Park. If you have any incidents which are suspicious, please contact a member of the Executive to notify them. If any incidents do happen, please contact the police and notify a member of the Executive that you have done so.
In what we believe to be an unrelated matter - we had people driving over one of our playing fields that has damaged it. If you notice anyone "hanging around" the park, please note their car details and report to the Executive
These incidents are reminders to ensure you and your children's safety and also your possessions while at the park (and other grounds)
