FAMILY ISSUES : PLAY PARK AT SOUTH PETHERWIN

One of John's visits this spring was to South Petherwin, where local families support the scheme for a local play park. As a father of four, John knows the realities of bringing up children and the importance of local facilities for play and letting off steam and surplus energies!

Child health experts have recently highlighted the issue of lack of exercise as the cause of many of today's children being overweight. Children also need a place to play and meet socially with their friends. John is shown below listening to the concerns of mothers and children and hearing about the play park scheme at South Petherwin.
