News on Your Driffield. Your Future.

Work costing £194,000 has now commenced on the redevelopment of three play areas in Driffield.

The work is a result of the feedback received from those engaging through the Commonplace platform during the last twelve months, which has included gathering opinions on the play areas and the improvements the public wanted to see within them. In a further round there was an opportunity to vote on the equipment proposals for the redevelopment.

On the back of this, Northend Park, Allotment Lane and St Margaret’s Close are all being given major overhauls and are being fitted with brand new equipment.

The investment has come from East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the Commuted Sums Fund, Driffield Town Council and The Friends of St Margaret’s Play Area.

The play area will also see the installation of an inclusive roundabout, a new replacement four tower multi-unit, a Cocowave swing and a zip line running next to the path.

Allotment Lane Play Area has also received £43,000. Improvements include refurbishing the existing swings and safety surfacing, installing a new toddler adventure tower, a new basket swing, an inclusive roundabout and a tic-tac-toe panel. The path through the play area will also include an alphabet trail.

St Margaret’s Close play area, which is run by Driffield Town Council, has received £43,686 from the Commuted Sums Fund.

The revamp at the St Margaret’s Close site will include the installation of new play panels, two flat swings and a basket swing, an inclusive roundabout and a small trampoline.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to feedback on the latest project proposal for Millennium Green before it ends on Wednesday 10th August at 12 noon.
