A FUN day for children in Chadwell St Mary has been organised and as an added benefit it will raise funds to help combat damage caused by vandalism and arsonists in the area.

A Community fun bus and bounce day will take place on Thursday, 25 August by the locally Little Legs Compnay, who have been hosting events in Grays and Corringham over the summer holiday.

The additional event will raise funds for the Heath Field play area.

As reported on Thurock Nub News, new facilities planned for the heath have been delayed after equipment waiting to be installed was set on fire.
