AM wants Royal Charity support for Denbighshire Playing Fields

Labour AM for Vale of Clwyd, Ann Jones, has called on Denbighshire County Council to apply for a cash boost for local playing fields via the Queen Elizabeth II Fields Charity.

The Charity, which recently instated Prince William as Patron, will use a £7m campaign to protect and create around 2,000 playing fields across the UK and Ann Jones wants Denbighshire to be a part of it.

Ann Jones said: “This investment is designed to create and improve access to play which is important for the whole community.

“Not every area can benefit from this charity campaign which is why I want Denbighshire to be at the front of the queue when the projects begin.

“It is tragic that short sighted decisions at Denbighshire County Council lost us the Ryder Cup legacy golf course so I want to see a real effort to make funds like this one work for our community. I urge residents to get in touch with the local authority’s Leisure and Youth Services to let them know which area is most deserving of this kind of investment.”
