CRAG (Coaley Recreation Action Group) was formed of a group of villagers, including Parish Councilors, to redevelop Coaley Recreation Ground. Since then we have been busy making this happen!
Consulted villagers and compiled feedback
School children were consulted to design a logo for CRAG. The winning Logo was designed by Elise with 2nd place to Jasmine and Juno and Poppy in joint 3rd place. Their designs were then further developed by Abby Birkbeck into the design we use today
School children were asked to design their plans for the Rec and from this we created a priority wishlist of the play equipment
