Slaley, Northumberland

Following a short trial period, the school governors have now given permission for extended use of the school field. This is great news, and is based on widespread use by the young people of the village in the last couple of weeks. Everybody has pulled together in making this happen.
The community trust is now applying to the parish council for funds to be used as contingency for such things as a new sign detailing the availability of the grounds and the conditions that apply to its continued use.
Adults accompanying young people are most welcome, as this adds to the enjoy-ability and responsible use of the premises.
The grounds must be vacated by dusk, and the governors can withdraw their permission at any time.
It is up to all of the villagers to ensure that this opportunity stays in place for the foreseeable future.
