In a significant development for local sports enthusiasts, the Cullompton Community Association (CCA) proudly announced the completion of new petanque courts in the town, marking a notable enhancement to the community's recreational facilities. This project, supported by a generous grant from the Town Council, has successfully installed two petanque courts that are now open for public use, accompanied by two benches for spectators and players to enjoy.

The initiative is a testament to the CCA's commitment to fostering community spirit and promoting outdoor activities among residents of all ages. Recognizing the potential for petanque to become a beloved pastime in Cullompton, the association is in the process of organizing lessons to introduce and familiarize new players with the game. These efforts aim to ensure that everyone, regardless of their experience level, can enjoy the sport and engage with fellow community members.

In addition to the petanque courts, the CCA has taken proactive steps to address the long-standing issue of potholes in the local car park. Through gradual repairs, the association hopes to improve the parking experience for visitors and residents alike, preventing the need for parking and driving on the grass and mud verges along the picturesque tree-lined drive. This initiative not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the area but also contributes to the safety and convenience of all who use the facilities.

The CCA's projects, from the petanque courts to the car park repairs, highlight the power of community collaboration and the impact of volunteerism. These accomplishments were made possible through the combined efforts of dedicated volunteers, the support of the Town Council, and the generosity of the community in both time and financial contributions.

As the CCA continues to work on these and future projects, they extend a heartfelt invitation to the residents of Cullompton to join in their efforts. Whether by volunteering time, offering financial support, or simply participating in the new activities available, every contribution helps build a stronger, more connected community.

The petanque courts are a shining example of what can be achieved when a community comes together with a common goal. The CCA looks forward to welcoming new and experienced players alike to the courts and encourages everyone to take advantage of this wonderful new facility.
