In response to a vigorous campaign by local mums, Cambridgeshire businesses swung into action and helped raise £50,000 for the creation of a new children’s playground in Waterbeach.
The playground, which was opened by children’s author Jean Adamson - creator of Topsy and Tim was an instant success, with around 350 mums and toddlers turning out for the occasion.
Suzy Kay, chairperson of the campaign committee, says: “The children had a lovely time. I want to thank everyone in the village who helped us design the playground, and the local businesses and individuals who helped us raise the money.”
Steve Lord of Cambridge Research Park, one of the principal sponsors, adds: “We understood that there was a real need at Waterbeach and are delighted to have helped in meeting it. Working parents will also be pleased to know that we are preparing plans to introduce a children’s nursery on-site at the Research Park”.
