Community chest opens more for youth Providing first-aid, cooking and new tutoring programs will soon feature at the Singleton Youth Venue thanks to financial assistance from the Singleton Diggers Community Chest.

The Back-to-Basics Cooking life skills program will also run to teach young people basic kitchen skills, meal planning and budgeting. The Youth Venue provides social and recreational activities for young people between 11 and 17 years of age, open from 9am to 6pm from Tuesday to Friday weekly. For more information about the Singleton Youth Venue programs and services, call the team on 6571 4687 or visit www.singleton. nsw.gov.au/youthvenue Safety concerns trigger the removal of barbeques Three gas barbecues have been removed from Singleton’s Townhead Park after a safety audit of the park’s assets found they were potentially unsafe. Recent safety inspections found the barbecues were aged, broken, unrepairable and posed a safety risk. Council says although the removal of the facilities is far from ideal, it will not compromise the safety of our park users. “We are currently working with consultants on the development of the Townhead Park Master Plan which will guide the future uses for the park and take into consideration the replacement of the barbecue facilities and playground equipment.“ For more information about the Townhead Park Master Plan, please contact Council on (02) 6578 7290.
