  • Saltdean Oval Regeneration Team
    Report from the AGM November 7th 2003

The Supernova has been installed in the Oval and the Vega which young children can hold onto and spin. The council have kindly paid for installation of these pieces of equipment and the Sort have paid for them. Many thanks to Rob Dumbrill from the council for very kindly arranging the installation. Sheltered seating and a table tennis table have also been installed. The council have also repainted the bottom half of the fence. A skate park is still under debate with as yet no parents coming forward to support the idea. SORT need community support for this idea before going ahead with it.

SORT have been working closely with PARC with the charity ship on Rottingdean greatly helping to raise funds.

They have also been working closely with the SLAT youth initiative group to consider lighting in the park.

To date SORT have raised over £18,000 to which they must have been very proud - well done SORT!

Huge thanks to John Byrd for very kindly taking these pictures and sending them to the website......
