Some Redding residents have sent a petition to the Board of Selectmen, calling for a new playground in town.  The petition asks for an exploratory committee be formed to look into the idea of allocating unspent funds from 2020 toward a playground project to be approved by town vote in May.  The committee seeks to include members of parks and recreation, zoning, and the community.  First Selectman Julia Pemberton says talk of where funding would come from is premature, but believes looking into the community needs is appropriate.
