Sprotbrough & Cusworth Parish News Published by Sprotbrough & Cusworth Parish Council Printed on recycled paper Autumn 2004 A new skate park in early 2005

PARISH councillors have made an early New Year’s resolution - to create a top class skateboard park for local youngsters.

The project was given the ‘green light’ after Sprotbrough and Cusworth Parish Council secured a £25,000 grant towards the cost of the project from waste recycling business WREN.

The cash is from a landfill tax - money raised by charging local authorities and other waste contractors for disposing of waste in landfill sites. Grants are available to areas like ours which are situated close to landfill disposal sites like the one at Scabba Wood on Cadeby Road.

The grant windfall from WREN gave the project the welcome boost it needed. As Sprotbrough and Cusworth Parish News went to press tenders for the project were being received and the successful contractor was due to be announced. The work is set to cost around £80,000, with the lion’s share being funded by the parish council.

Coun Pat Haith, Chair of Sprotbrough and Cusworth Parish Council, said: “This is a great step forward for our plans to create more facilities for local young people. We expect building work to start in January and, depending on the weather, take around six weeks to complete. This means the skatepark will definitely open in early 2005.

“We are grateful to WREN for its support for our bid. The grant has gone a long way towards financing the scheme.”

The proposed design for the new skate park is now itching to be brought off the drawing board and built on Sprotbrough’s Anchorage Lane playing field, on a site behind the new changing rooms and close to the Scout hut. National charity, Groundwork Trust, is managing the project for the parish council.

The design - pictured right - includes various ramps and a large bowl, together with a seated area and a grid at the entrance to prevent dogs from entering the area.

Local youngsters and residents gave the plans a big ‘thumbs-up’ at a special consultation event held at Anchorage Lane in February. More than 50 young people came along to give their views to Groundwork Trust, left. The skate park was designed with input from local resident Steve Gratton, a former skateboarding and BMX champion.

STOP PRESS - calling all skate board and BMX fans. A meeting to form a ‘Friends of the Anchorage Lane skate park’ group will be held in the Committee Room, Goldsmith Centre, Sprotbrough Road at 7.15pm on Tuesday 14 December. Steve Gratton and Area 51 Group members will be there. Please come along. For more information ring the Clerk, or Deputy Clerk to the Parish Council on 01302 788093.

The PCT has worked closely with the parish council, Dr Connor and Dr James Nelson - whose practice shares the new medical centre - to bring the £1.3 million building off the drawing board.

This is good news for the Doncaster area, which has a shortage of family doctors, as research suggests that many GPs tend to settle in the area where they have completed their training. It will also enable our practice to develop further the services we provide for our patients.”

Dr Connor came to Sprotbrough three years ago to look after patients of Dr Tariq Faruqi, who had just retired after operating for many years from a surgery at his home on Sprotbrough Road. The former Scott Practice branch Doncaster Health Authority couldn’t fill the vacancy left by Dr Faruqi Surgery so suggested the practice be disbanded and patients reallocated to other existing practices – a proposal overwhelmingly rejected by local patients at a heated public meeting held at the Goldsmith Centre.

And it seems that motorists racing along Melton Road at break-neck speed, and ‘fly-tippers’, are amongst their top grumbles.

Since September, more than 450 residents of all ages have taken part in a series of outdoor and indoor consultation events to comment on important local issues like the environment, health and leisure activities. The Sprotbrough Community Consultation was staged by Doncaster Council as a follow-up to the Sprotbrough Community Appraisal (SPA), which went out in 1998/99 in the form of a questionnaire that was completed by around 900 people. The SPA highlighted residents’ views Pictured at the consultation event at Sprotbrough library about the area just ahead of the Millennium, which were captured in a 50 page report.

Doncaster and Bradley Carpenter. Council staff have staged small, informal, open air consultation events around local shops and the post office, and larger events at St Mary’s Church Hall and Sprotbrough Library. Early feedback suggests that residents share a lot of common ground about what makes them angry, including:

● Vehicles racing along Melton Road - more traffic calming needed. ● Long queues at the town end of Sprotbrough Road, particularly caused by vehicles trying to get to the KFC fast-food outlet. ● Danger of accidents at the Melton Road (Ivanhoe) junction with Spring Lane and ● Illegal dumping around the area - particularly tyres. ● Motorists using Park Drive as a ‘rat-run’ from St Mary’s Church to Melton Road.

Some local people said they were happy with Sprotbrough as it stands and couldn’t suggest any ways of improving it. In 1998/99, residents highlighted the local problem of dog fouling…called for CCTV cameras to improve community safety…said they would like to see more parks and open spaces…as well as making many more comments.

At this year’s indoor events, residents were invited to place special cards on a large map of Sprotbrough. Each card highlighted a particular topic issues they wanted the local authority and other agencies to focus on - such as ‘dog fouling problems here’, or ‘a basketball court here’, and ‘a cycle route’ here. Organisers reckon that residents picked out over 2,000 cards and placed them at various points on the map during the consultation events. Coun Malcolm Wood, Vice Chair of Sprotbrough and Cusworth Parish Council, said: “I’m pleased that parishioners took the time to air their views as it is important that the local community plays a key role in shaping the decisions that affect us all. The parish council looks forward to seeing the consultation report when it is published to see how we can help progress the changes that our residents would like to see take place.” Looking back: Scawsby Rangers Junior FC enjoyed their third season. SCAWSBY Rangers have kicked off their fourth season after faring well in 2003/04.

The side is hoping to repeat the flying start they enjoyed last season, which saw them reach the final of a tournament at Dearne Valley, against better-rated teams.

Performances over the rest of the season were dogged with uncharacteristic results in so much as the team beat the top of the league but were unlucky to not get a result at the then bottom of the league. But this has not deterred them and the side continues to grow and enjoy their football, building team spirit, sportsmanship and fitness at the same time.

The youngsters have enjoyed tickets to various tournaments and qualifying matches at all age groups up to the full squad. This Rangers players warming up. is because they are the only club in the Doncaster & District Junior League to achieve Charter Standard Status. They have visited the grounds of Notts County, Newcastle, Hull City, Sheffield Wednesday, Sheffield United and Doncaster Rovers. And the squad have been ball boys at Doncaster Rovers’ Earth Stadium. Their achievements owe a lot to the dedication of the parents who give up their time to assist with training and fund raising. The side would also like to thank the treasurer who does a mountain of work behind the scenes. The Rangers are still on the look out for a dedicated pitch as they currently ground share with Wheatley Hills Rugby Club, a partnership that is much appreciated. New name for Newlands? CUSWORTH’S Newlands Park grounds could be heading for a name change.
