Refurbishment of Estates

Plans have now been submitted for the work on the old children’s play park at Community Way and the work will be starting in the near future to convert it to a safe and pleasant area for both adults and children to enjoy.  The Forum are now looking to raise money from the ENTRUST system to upgrade all the other ex children’s play parks on the housing estates in Lossiemouth

 

The Forum have also allocated £14,000 to building a children’s play park at the Inchbroom Avenue area.   The work to obtain the ground and prepare it will be starting in the near future.  Sufficient money has been allocated to obtain the first unit.  Further units will be purchased and installed as more funds become available.

 

Gas and Electricity Charges

Members of the Forum have been in touch with the National Housing Federation with reference to gas and electricity companies overcharging those on prepayment meters.  The National Housing Federation have drafted a standard letter which can be sent to both companies requesting repayment of monies which have been overcharged.   To get a copy of the letter go to www.housing.org.uk and click on the campaign button.

 

Safety on the Beach

A near tragedy was averted when three girls were dragged onto the rocks at the river mouth.  The Community Council and the Moray Council are trying to decide what would be the best action to tke to ensure that we do not have a tragedy this year.  Everyone should be aware that swimming near the river mouth is very dangerous because of the rip tides.  Lets have a safe year
