Improving Holdingham as a Community!

I found this local newspaper clipping for 2004 about problems within Holdingham and especially near the Lincoln Road Play Area.

Rising Tide of Vandalism and Intimidation

I put it down, at the time, to the integration of new residents into the area. Most, I hasten to add, were and are very nice people moving into a nice part of Town.
Some youngsters, coming in from different environments entirely, found it hard to adjust.

This is not uncommon when communities grow quickly (probably too quickly) but it does not relieve the Local Authorities of their responsibilty to ensure these problems are minimised and dealt with quickly.


Compare that to the Play Area improvements mentioned on my previous Blog, and shown on this photograph, taken a few weeks ago. Communities can improve with the right care and investment!
