Save Our Playground: People urged to turn out to meeting

A PUBLIC meeting will be held this week to discuss plans to secure the future of Meriden Adventure Playground (MAPA).
The facility has argued that a six-month funding package, agreed by Solihull Council earlier this month, does not give staff and volunteers enough time to make the playground self-sufficient.
The decision not to approve funding for a longer period - as a number of local councillors wanted - was heavily criticised on social media.
Solihull Council has maintained that the deal approved last week was the most feasible option given budget constraints.
Now, as MAPA begins to put plans in place to keep the site going beyond August, local residents are urged to come along and show their support tomorrow evening (Wednesday).
The meeting will take place at Bosworth Community Centre, Chelmsley Wood, and is due to start at 7pm.
