It was great to see today (24 January 2023) that work is under way on the Hookes Way play area.

The play equipment had been removed in 2020 as it had reached the end of its useful life. This was raised with me several times during the council elections in 2021. I took this issue up after my election, working with Sovereign Housing Association, Newport & Carisbrooke Community Council, and Isle of Wight Council.
