Dear Sir,

On behalf of Aycliffe Village residents may I thank Great Aycliffe Town Council for bringing forward the refurbishment of the Village Park, spending £50,000 on new play equipment and a general tidy-up.

The project will start in early Spring 2018 and I appeal to the County Councillors to show their support by contributing from the Neighbourhood budget.

Would all residents please read the important article on setting GATC Revenue & Capital Budgets up for consultation in the Council newsletter in this issue of Newton News.

Cllr. Bill Blenkinsopp
