The funding for the new Zip-Wire is now all in place, following the Parish Council meeting last Tuesday, 28th January. We have placed the order with Sovereign Play Equipment, a company based near Southend. It is hoped that the project will be completed and ready for use in the Spring.

The zip-wire out of use, 19th June 2023
UPDATE ON 1st AUGUST
—
Snape Playing Field Committee have to inform you of the sad demise of our much loved zip-wire, after 25 years of constant use. This is due to the rotting of many of the wooden posts, making it unsafe to use. We will be replacing it with a stronger constructed one. However, we need around £20,000 first, including installation costs.
Over the coming months, the Committee will be searching for grants and organising fundraising activities, including a Christmas party for children with a very important guest, followed by a dance for the adults on 16th December.
If there are any residents who especially have happy memories of using the zip-wire and would like to make a donation to our fund, or any local businesses that wish to sponsor it, then please contact me.
