Bourne housing development leads to exercise kit for Dyke villagers

Villagers can go for a free workout in their local playing field after new outdoor gym equipment was installed.

The new outdoor exercise equipment was officially opened on Dyke Playing Field on Saturday morning.

Funding for the kit came from housebuilders as part of a section 106 agreement for a new development in the Bourne parish.

Mayor of Bourne, Coun Colin Pattison, cut the ribbon, supported by fellow Bourne Town Councillor Les Panrucker who helped secure the equipment.

Coun Pattison then got to try out the exercise apparatus for himself.

“I’m delighted to see this initiative and installation put in here at Dyke,” he said.

"I truly hope that it is made good use of and looked after by all.”
