I'd like to know about the playground too - ie the one where the One O'clock club used to be. But if you have info on the playroom, that would be good too.


Based on scraping around for articles mentioning the playground it seemed like 'early June' was the target, but there is nothing official on this.

Hi midivydale, it was due to open for this week (half term), but unfortunately when they were laying pipework some asbestos was found and so this put the project back by a couple of weeks and therefore we are currently looking at mid-June.

If they make their end of July target that's only the 2nd week of the summer holidays so still plenty of time and many years ahead of us.


I'm just glad that PR is finally getting a much needed playground after all these years. We could have done with this years ago - My kids are now 11 and 8 so getting a bit over these things but for those with younger children, 'd be delighted that there is going to be such a great playground even if it is a month or 2 overdue.

Yes, It may in the afternoon as all the barriers need to be removed. There are issues with two of the gates so only one will be open at first until the snagging is done on the other two. I'm sure the long slide will be very popular with younger residents :)

      Are Our Victorian Streets Secretly an Obstacle Course? 🚗😅

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      There are two causes for this problem   The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure.   The second issue is electrification.   Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.    That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.

      Pretentious status vehicles.  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum.

      I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.  Dean Richards  07888 651798
