A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROJECT
There has been popular public demand to build a Splash Park on the land where the outdoor swimming pool used to be, adjacent to Priory Park in St Neots.
We are raising money for the St Neots Splash Park.
The current quote for the build is £795,000.
The Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) St Neots AQ has already raised £185,000 and is asking St Neots Town Council for a substantial Grant of £650,000. Which gives £40,000 contingency.
If we do not use the contingency we will utilise this with the income from the site to build a Café and other facilities on the site.
