Splash Pad sponsors sought for summer months

While £5,000 has been pledged, a total of £25,000 is needed to cover the costs of the splash pad throughout July, August and early September.

Councillor Colin Swansborough, Cabinet Member for Enterprise, said:

"This is an opportunity for businesses to sponsor the splash pad and promote their company to the many summer visitors to Princes Park.

"Our officers have been speaking to local companies and I'm most grateful for the £5,000 so far confirmed,  but we continue to try and meet the £25,000 target."

Increased costs and years of reduced central government funding have forced many district and borough councils to review the running of discretionary services, such as leisure facilities, and find alternative ways of operating them, including sponsorship.

Councillor Swansborough added:

"I'd welcome any business who is looking to sponsor this much-loved community facility to come forward."

Any business interested in sponsoring the splash pad should contact panddcommunications@lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk
