Funding for Spondon Bowls Club to erect new security fencing:
In December 2012 Spondon Neighbourhood Board funded Spondon Bowls Club £1,000 as a contribution to the costs of buying and installing over 100 metres of security fencing. After many hours of work the Club members have now nearly completed their project to make their club a safer and more secure environment.
They can be seen in the photo on the right in front of their new fencing on a well-earned break with Councillor Poulter, Chair of Spondon Neighbourhood Board.

Be Safe Be Seen:
Spondon Neighbourhood Board has made it a priority commitment to fund a reflector for all Reception, KS1 & KS2 children in Spondon schools. As before, the intention is to send the reflectors to parents to help raise awareness and ensure the reflectors are used appropriately. This means that the reflectors together with a letter will be sent to the schools already sealed in a branded envelope ready to be sent to parents. The plan is to start delivering the reflectors to schools week commencing 14th October.
