Funding a New School Playground Fence

In a dedicated effort to ensure the safety and well-being of Titchfield's children, Titchfield Village Trust successfully raised £9,000 to construct a protective fence around the local school playground. This initiative was prompted by the construction of a new dual carriageway near the school, increasing concerns about the children's safety during playtime.

Understanding the Need

The development of the dual carriageway, part of a £10 million project to improve local infrastructure, brought increased traffic flow closer to the school premises.

While the road aimed to enhance connectivity, it also introduced potential risks for the children. Recognising this, TVT took proactive measures to mitigate any hazards associated with the nearby traffic.

The Fundraising Effort

TVT's fundraising campaign showcased the community's commitment to safeguarding its youth. Through various events, appeals, and collaborations, the Trust successfully amassed £9,000. This achievement not only reflects the community's generosity but also its dedication to creating a secure environment for its children.

Implementation and Impact

The funds were allocated to design and install a robust fence separating the playground from the adjacent dual carriageway. This barrier serves multiple purposes:

• Safety: It prevents children from inadvertently accessing the busy road, ensuring their protection during school hours and playtime.

• Noise Reduction: The fence acts as a sound buffer, diminishing traffic noise and creating a more conducive environment for learning and recreation.

• Aesthetic Enhancement: Beyond functionality, the fence was designed to complement the school's surroundings, adding to the visual appeal of the area.

Community Collaboration

This project underscores the power of community collaboration. Local residents, businesses, and organizations rallied together, demonstrating a unified commitment to the village's future. Such initiatives highlight the essence of TVT's mission: to preserve Titchfield's heritage while adapting to contemporary needs.

Looking Ahead

The successful completion of the playground fence is a testament to what can be achieved when a community unites for a common cause. As Titchfield continues to evolve, TVT remains steadfast in its dedication to balancing progress with preservation, ensuring that developments enhance the village's character and the well-being of its residents.
