New Village Playground
Local Conservative MP Stephen Phillips was delighted to be asked to open a new village play area for the children and young people of Marston and Hougham on Saturday. A huge amount of effort from both villages, including a sponsored cycle ride to Paris, raised over £5,000, with the remaining funding coming from the National Lottery and the County Council. With a brilliant winter's day to welcome the new facilities, children from both villages set about christening their new equipment whilst parents, grandparents and villagers looked on. "This is exactly what my party means when we talk about the Big Society," Stephen said. "This is a great example of people who care about their communities getting out and actually doing something to make the lives of their neighbours better. Events like this are by far the best part of my duties as your MP and I am more than delighted to have been asked to open the new playground this morning."
