The area, in Ashburnham Road, has undergone a makeover in recent weeks and now proudly boasts an array of colourful, modern play equipment.

Pupils from St Andrew’s School Primary School helped to officially open the new play area on Wednesday (16th November), which has installed a climber with slide, zip wire, trampoline, a spinner, swings and several other pieces of smaller play equipment.

Local children and parents were asked what equipment they wanted to see in their play area during a consultation last year.

Councillor Chris Mullins, Cabinet member for Wellbeing, said: “The new-look play area looks great and is giving children a fun and enjoyable place to play. It’s wonderful to see children excited by the new equipment.”
