Baxenden: Fencing to be installed at Recreation Ground

 

Cllr Ken Moss, Cabinet Member for Leisure, announced today that fencing is set to be installed at Baxenden Recreation ground, to deter unauthorised vehicle access after a number of recent incidents.

Cllr Moss said; “Baxenden Recreation ground has recently been subject to unauthorised vehicle access, which not only caused damage to the field, but also meant it couldn’t be used by local residents.”

Cllr Moss added; “Grant funding for fencing is very difficult to come by, however, the Council has been able to find some funding internally at the end of the financial year which we can use to install suitable hit and miss barrier fencing to prevent further unauthorised vehicular access onto the Recreation ground.”

The fences are set to be installed later in the Summer.
