New Signs for Pelham Play Area

The recently opened play area at Pelham House was missing some important signage. Both Groundwork, the the environmental charity behind the project and H&F had run out of funds. So LETRA has taken action, with the full approval of the above organisations, and installed two 'No Dogs in the Playground Area' signs on the fencing. 

The new play area has been a great addition to the Lytton Estate, becoming a popular spot for children and parents.

Lets hope all concerned respect the signs and take their dogs elsewhere, so everybody can enjoy the play area safely.
