☀️ With the lovely weather, it’s great to see Greystone Rec being enjoyed by local families.
Unfortunately, we’ve had some graffiti appear in the enclosed play area. Some of it has been edited in the images we’re sharing, and some of the wording can be left to the imagination, but it is clearly not appropriate for a children’s play space.
This enclosed area is there for younger children to play safely and enjoy themselves, not as a teenage hangout.
A big thank you to Cllr Andrea Haywood - Penketh Parish Council for jumping straight on this while we are a man down in the office. It’s very much appreciated. 👏
We will share a small number of images with identifying details blanked out, simply to highlight the issue. We hope that is enough to nip it in the bud, but if it continues, we may have to report matters to parents and, where necessary, the relevant authorities.
If residents notice groups of teenagers congregating in the enclosed area, please report it to the Clerk at [email protected] 📧
Let’s keep Greystone Rec a welcoming, safe and enjoyable space for our younger children and families. 🌳🛝

We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former Parish Councillor Kate Snape.

Kate served on Penketh Parish Council from October 2021 to February 2022. Although her time with us was short, she made a real impact. She brought a strong voice for accessibility and inclusion, shaped our early thinking for the reopening of the pool, and reminded us how important it is that our community works for everyone.

Kate faced more challenges than most, yet she never let those challenges limit what she contributed. Her determination, kindness and willingness to be involved spoke volumes about the person she was.

We send our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.
Details of the celebration of Kate’s life, shared by her family, can be found here:

Always remembered as a part of our Parish.

Dedicated to the memory of Kate Snape
