Gronant Recreation Field
Published: 17/09/2014
A community has gathered to celebrate the protection of a highly valued
recreational area.
The Gronant Recreational Ground has been awarded prestigious Queen Elizabeth II
Field status, from the organisation Fields in Trust, which protects pieces of
land for posterity, restricting its use to outdoor play, sport and recreation
for generations to come.
Llanasa Community Council chairman Councillor Fred Gilmore was presented with
the Fields in Trust plaque by Councillor Kevin Jones, Cabinet Member for Waste
Strategy, Public Protection and Leisure who said:
“Protecting the County’s green space for leisure and for children to play on is
extremely important. Having somewhere to run around in the fresh air is a huge
benefit in terms of health and welfare. Fifteen spaces across Flintshire have
already been protected by the charity with the help of work done by the Council
and partner agencies.”
The event was attended by children from Gronant CP School and community
councillors.
