Leighton Village Playground
The Village Playground has been enjoyed by 100's of children over the 16 years since
Leighton Recreation Committee built it and annually repairs are carried out to ensure
its safety. This Spring the cost of repairs amounted to nearly £3000 and a request was
made to Forden with Leighton and Trelystan Community Council to give financial help.
They have decided to support the repairs with a grant of £1,000 for which we are all
very grateful. The balance will come from LRC funds already raised which will make
sure the Playground is safe for future children to whiz down the slides.
Stamp of approval!
The Village Mobile Post Van is there for you every Monday and Thursday
10.15am - 11am at the Leighton Church gates so remember to call in for
all the services you would expect from a town branch along with
disabled access, lots of advice and even Chelsea Buns! The PO Van plans
to be at Leighton Village Show so everyone can see what it has to offer.
