Roscoe Road
The Roscoe Road residents group is being assisted and supported by staff from Tees Valley Housing, who have helped the group to organise a number of community clear up days and educational events.
Partnership working between the Roscoe Road Residents Group, Tees Valley Housing Limited, Johnson Matthey, Billingham Partnership, Avecia/MSD and other local agencies has seen new life brought to a derelict piece of land on Roscoe Road, Billingham.
With funding from Impetus, work by Safe and Sound Playgrounds started work on the Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) and the facility was fully completed in September 2009. Now the residents and Tees Valley Housing are working with Groundwork North East to develop the nature park.
Val Scollen, Chair of the Roscoe Road residents’ association, said: “This has been a long time coming but by working in partnership with Tees Valley Housing, we have made it happen.
“The games area has not only given the area a facelift and removed a scourge, it also gives people, especially youngsters, an activity area for their spare time where they can get active and make new friends.
We are now looking forward to the completion of the Nature Park.”
