Meriden Sports Legacy Zone (SLZ)
Posted on 3:44pm Thursday 5th April 2012
I can tell that its spring as I’m starting to get invites to go out and visit our local community areas. I had a wonderful time at the grand opening of our brand new play and fitness area at the Meriden on Wednesday. The Meriden is our heartland and we have been working together with Watford Borough Council and play specialists Proludic, to install the UK’s first ever Sports Legacy Zone. We are very proud of this landmark venture.

It's Almost Easter
Posted on 11:00am Friday 23rd March 2012
Don’t you just love this time of the year, the Spring is my absolute favourite. The days start to get longer and are so much milder. The sun starts to come out of hiding and the bulbs are beginning to come out in full force with brightly coloured daffodils waving their heads saying to everyone, notice me what a spectacle I make.

From Garages to New Homes
Posted on 9:07am Thursday 15th March 2012
I could not contain my excitement when I heard that Watford Borough Council’s Planning Committee have given us approval regarding our proposals to increase our housing stock and build 16 houses and flats on 3 of our garage sites at Croxley View. Not only will this enable us to build much needed housing, after all, it’s definitely no secret that there is a shortage of housing in Watford with so many people on the housing waiting list. This will also address some of the problems of nuisance behaviour which the garages attracted.

Over the last few weeks we have been recruiting new volunteers to help us make our services better. We’ve had loads of responses so far from people we’ve never worked with before and I am looking forward to them joining our friendly team at the Trust and doing some fun things with me too.

The First Of Its Kind
Posted on 9:41am Wednesday 15th February 2012
After local residents informed the Better Communities Fund (BCF) they wanted better facilities at Meriden Park, the BCF approached Watford Borough Council for permission to provide equipment on their land. On 6th February this year work commenced with the construction of a Sports Legacy Project on the Meriden Park, within one of our largest housing estates and should complete sometime in mid April 2012. Specially designed by Prodludic, one of the UK’s leading providers of outdoor play and sports equipment, the BCF are on schedule to deliver this Inter-Generational Sports Legacy.
