Norwood Gardens Play Area

Phase 2 of the works to improve play equipment on Norwood Gardens Play area has now been completed. The outdated play equipment has been replaced with more attractive, safer, and more child friendly apparatus. Some of the new equipment will appeal to a wider age range. This is a good example of the Town Council responding to an initiative from the local community. The Council agreed to fund the work out of Community Infrastructure Levy funds. The chair of the Town Environment Committee, Karen Roberts said "It's been quite a long wait, partially due to COVID, but we think that the end result is worth it".
