ADDITIONAL opportunities to get fit in Tavistock are in the pipeline, with the creation of a ?trim trail? in the town?s Meadows. During a meeting of the town council?s properties committee last Tuesday members heard that works superintendent Wayne Southall has obtained quotes for ten pieces of fitness equipment, to be placed at various locations in the park. The ?trim trail? will include a ski-stepper, mini-ski, pull-down challenger, sit-up bench, health-walker, waist-twister, leg-stretch, power-push, parallel rails and a push-hand machine. The equipment, with associated signage, safety matting and appropriate fencing, carries a price tag of around £17,000. They are aimed at use by adults and teenaged children. Town clerk Roger Howard told members he was receiving a lot of interest from other town councils regarding the new fitness project. ?A lot of town clerks are getting very excited about this. ?It?s flavour of the month with the Government ? anything you can do to encourage people to take more exercise is a good thing,? he said. Col Howard said the equipment will be purchased as soon as the money becomes available ? it is being funded via West Devon Borough Council through a planning condition. ?The ten pieces of equipment will be dotted around the Meadows ? there will be one by Meadowlands, by the river, across by Plymouth Road and back up by the canal, so you can run around the Meadows in a circuit, doing repetitions on each piece of equipment,? said Col Howard. ?I think it will be good fun ? these sort of things are very popular in Europe and they?re the sort of things you get in the services too.?
