The playground in Farnborough is very popular with families from all around the region. It is recognised as one of best well equipped free to access play grounds in our area. It is now in need of some improvement and Farnborough Parish Council have been lucky to secure a grant from a new scheme: Tesco’s Bags of Help initiative. https://www.groundwork.org.uk/sites/tescocommunityscheme They have been awarded £8k to spend but based on a free vote in these Tesco stores: 5812: Middle Road, Banbury Express 6338: High St, Banbury Express 2064: Banbury xtra it could be increased to £10k or even £12k. Please vote for this popular local project from the 27th Feb-6th March.
