New
£7,000 fence boosts security at Burnham-On-Sea park
Celebrations
were underway at a Burnham-On-Sea park on Wednesday (April 8th)
when a new two metre high fence costing £7,000 was officially
opened in a bid to stamp out anti-social behaviour.
 Members
of the Rosewood Action Team launched a project last year to get
the long-awaited fence and lockable gates installed at Rosewood
Park.
Funding
for the fence has come from Somerset County Council and Sedgemoor
District Council.
"County
Councillor Rosemarie Parsons was officiating as without her help
and the very generous support of Sedgemoor District Council, this
project would never have been completed," the Rosewood Action
Team secretary Kay Loveridge told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
"We
have had lots of trouble here over the years with under-age drinking,
anti-social behaviour and damage to the play area. The new fence
will disuade youngsters from using this area."

Team on Wednesday
