New fitness area opens at playground New fitness area opens at playground

Watford mayor Dorothy Thornhill put exercise and play equipment through its paces as a new fitness area was opened this week.

The area, which has monkey bars and a balancing frame, was officially opened in Nascot Grange housing development in Langley Road on Monday.

The facilities, open for public use, have been installed by the company behind the development, CALA Homes.

A better headline might have read, "Mayor Thornhill takes inaugural ride on new link between Watford Met and Ascot Road station."

Actually... if you converted one of the tracks along the viaduct into a footpath, you'd probably have the height...

Judging by her policies and imcompetence, she has been stuck in that tunnel for the last 10years, or was the rolly polly Clarke infront of her, blocking her exit, the blind leading the blind, Shame no Fibs cab see the light, bet the rest are hiding in that Tunnel, going around in circles!!!

that's the sort of policies you get from her"tunnel" vision.

£4 million to change the pond???

I am still staggered that the promised community resource promised for this site never materialised. To allow the developer to get away with not providing a doctors surgery or dentist or playgroup for the under 5s is criminal. The developer had agreed to provide this resource.

Why did the Council allow the developer to renege on the promised infrastructure? Instead the developer was allowed to pay a small amount of money to the Health Authority. Why???

The community must have changed drastically inside of 6 months. Suddenly all got healthy and bronze limbed or something. Or the financial situation changed more likely. Same as they are backing down over the Health Campus and the allotments. Honestly, developers just take the p***. Necessary evil. If they really want to go claiming special measures due to general poverty, they should be screwed really hard when times are good. But they aren't. The council just rolls over and lets the developer tickle their belly. The council should be demanding part ownership of the property in lieu of part or all of Section 106 monies. I bet that's not legal, though.
