Can you help us?
A number of the wooden panels from the disabled access ramp in Randlay Valley have been stolen. Did you see anything?
This ramp was created by families and volunteers, with funding from donations and fund-raising, to provide access to an area in the Valley that can be enjoyed free-of-charge and has been well used in recent months by our Special Needs Activity Centre, 1st Randlay Scouts and Hollinswood Primary School.
We recently held a Hallowe’en Event at the site and this was well supported and it was great to see children and adults of all ages and abilities enjoying the activities.
Councillor Sheenagh Unwin, the Chairman of Hollinswood & Randlay Parish Council said “How disappointing it is! Why would anyone want to take away something which is so important to our local residents? The young people will be heart-broken. If anyone knows anything about this act of vandalism and theft, please get in touch (confidentially) with the Parish Clerk on 07813 788094.”
Katrina Baker, Clerk to the Parish Council said “the Parish Council and Friends of Hollinswood & Randlay Valley will look to replace this access ramp as a matter of urgency – we don’t want the young people and families to miss out because of the actions of some people who don’t care. If you can help in any way – donations, offers of materials or time etc. – please do get in touch”.
