Update: CCTV at Holsworthy Skateboard Park!

Holsworthy Town Council are delighted to announce that CCTV cameras have now been installed at Holsworthy’s Skateboard Park. This project was lead by the Parks Committee as part of their ongoing efforts to enhance community areas.

The new cameras will help deter vandalism and anti-social behaviour and ensure the Skateboard park remains a welcoming environment for visitors. This is another step forward in the maintenance and improvement of one of Holsworthy’s much used spaces.

A big thank you to everyone’s hard work and assistance with bringing this project to life!

Together we are making Holsworthy an even better place for residents and visitors alike.

If you have any feedback let us know at townclerk@holsworthytowncouncil.gov.uk or call 01409 253 312.

Update: Badock Gardens & the Sun Lounge Improvements

The Sun Lounge project is now in phase 2, whereby the aims are to provide disabled access from the newly improved pathway into the Sun Lounge. The improvements aim to create a versatile venue that can host a variety of events and activities. Upon completion, the Sun Lounge will be available for hire, offering a fully accessible space for meetings, events and other community activities.

Today, Cllr. Nigel Kenneally, Cllr. Lyndon Piper, Cllr. Helen Parker, Town Clerk Allison, Town Ranger George and the local contractors, Blackman Builders, met at the Sun Lounge in Badock Gardens to discuss the next steps for the Sun Lounge Project.
Blackman Builders won the tendering process and will be working alongside our councillors to complete this project. This meeting was very productive and we look forward to moving ahead.

This project is part of a larger effort to improve public spaces, promote community engagement and create more opportunities for residents, local groups and visitors. This project aligns with our goals of making Holsworthy a vibrant, inclusive place where people of all ages can come together to enjoy shared experiences.

Stay tuned for more updates as the project progresses.
