A CAMPAIGNER who successfully saved Moulton’s bus services is to turn her attention to securing a children’s play area for the village.
Stephanie Liquorish, of Broad Lane, who last year led villagers in a fight to stop bus firm Norfolk Green slashing its service, is now hoping people will get behind her and support her efforts.
She is asking for anyone who has or knows of a suitable site where swings and slides could be put up to get in touch, and wants as many people as possible to sign a petition in support of her plans.
She said: “All of the other villages have somewhere for the children to go but here in Moulton we have nothing.
“I have a great deal of sympathy for the village children and their parents who would like somewhere for them to play.
“A number of parents have approached me and asked me if we can do anything to get a play area. I don’t know how easy it is going to be, but I would like to try and am asking for everyone’s support.
“It’s a real shame that at the moment the village hasn’t got a park and I am sure many of the parents and other villagers would be willing to help raise money to make it possible.”
Mrs Liquorish is now intending to send out leaflets to homes in the village to gauge support for her plans.
She said: “I think the parish council has tried before to get a play area, but there has been problems with planning permission.
“It’s going to be hard work, but I want to make this my mission for 2012.
“After the bus campaign, John Hayes described me as an asset to the village and I want to do this for the community.”
