Ribbon-cutting
ceremony marks opening of £140,000 play area
The
long-awaited £140,000 revamp of Apex Park’s play area
in Highbridge has been completed and the new facility was officially
opened by Cllr Jane Moreton, Chairman of Sedgemoor District Council,
on Thursday (December 3rd).
A
ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the new play area, attended
by parents, children, councillors and even a clown, as pictured
above.
The
old play area has been replaced with a state-of-the-art 'playscape'
with numerous items of modern equipment.
Sedgemoor District Council says natural materials such as sand,
bark mulch and timber have been used in combination with a variety
of equipment such as a climber, roundabout, grass hopper see-saw,
swings, a trampoline and an aerial cableway.
The
new playscape has been funded by a grant from the Big Lottery
(£60,000), £73,462 from developer contributions (Policy
RLT2) and £6,538.00 from Sedgemoor District Council.
