Bedford Road Recreation Ground has received a worthy replacement for its 20-year-old embankment slide.

The new double-width slide was commissioned on 29th January 2025 by the Mayor of Sandy, Cllr Joanna Hewitt, the Chair of the Community Services and Environment Committee, Cllr Susan Sutton and the Deputy Clerk, Ian Reed. They were accompanied by children from Laburnum Primary School.

In a brief address to everyone present, the Mayor remarked: “The Council is committed to providing play equipment that is inclusive so that our playgrounds can be enjoyed by everyone”.

The school children “tested” the slide and they were absolutely delighted.
