The Town Council used money currently held by the District Council (raised from developers) to revamp the Winterhay Lane Play Area. The Youth Council undertook consultation with people who use or live close to the play and recreation area to establish what people wanted to see improved and based upon those findings a plan was compiled.
The Town Council approved the plan, and quotations for the purchase and installation of the new play equipment were agreed at the Town Council meeting on 17 November 2015. By the start of the school holidays in July 2016 the new equipment -including a basket swing, wide mound slide and large picnic bench had been installed and were ready for use. The final piece of the jigsaw was to widen the public access gate to make it easier for people with pushchairs and wheelchair users to get in and out of the park.
