Residents are being urged to give feedback on Fenland District Council proposals to spend £1.5million Government funding on improving and creating play areas across the district.

Specific sites have been identified to host play equipment for the first time, whilst others are earmarked for improvements.

Results of the consultation will help inform the projects that are taken forward, with plans for work to begin as soon as possible.

Cllr Jan Franch, Fenland’s portfolio holder for parks and open spaces, said: Local elected members have helped develop these plans to create a proposal list that offers widespread improvements for the district.

“We’re excited to see this investment improve play areas and opportunities across the district and to hear the views of residents on whether the proposals are what they want.”

It’s proposed to spend around £250,000 in each of Fenland’s four towns, with the remaining £500,000 spent in villages.
