Community welcomed for Eid celebration

Francis Batt

05:07AM, Tuesday 13 August 2013

Everyone was welcome to the Eid celebration at Moffy Hill play area in Edinburgh Road on Sunday.

Cllr Hari Dev Sharma who represents Furze Platt on the Royal Borough and a team of volunteers who organised the day ensured that the once derelict site in Maidenhead had never been as lively.

The site was transformed into a popular play area after 94 per cent of the nearby population gave their support to the scheme.

There was a bouncy castle, face painting and lots of food at Sunday's event.

Cllr Sharma said: "Some people who had lived here for years did not know any of the others, so it was a nice way of bringing the community together."
