Parents living near a 30-year-old Nottingham park say it is "about time" that it was improved after a £100,000 upgrade was announced. The money will be spent on improving the equipment and facilities on offer at the Ronald Street play area in Radford, which Nottingham City Council describes as "rapidly reaching end of life."
The investment is made up of £65,000 in grant funding and £35,000 in existing money given to the council by developers. It comes after a survey asking local residents how they would like to see the park improved closed last November.
Parents with children who use the Ronald Street play area are now hopeful that work will start soon, with the council saying it hopes to have completed the upgrades in time for the school summer holidays. Darin Sabaty, 42, said: "My children do use the play area already but of course we would use it more if it was improved.
