Play Areas across Telford and Wrekin have been renovated, upgraded or installed to the joy of the borough’s children and parents, thanks to local Town and Parish Councils and ward member support for an enhancement programme led by Telford & Wrekin Council.

Upgraded sites include Spring Village play area, where 5-a-side goals, swings and a slide play-unit were installed, thanks to joint funding from Telford & Wrekin Council and Dawley Hamlets Parish Council, who also co-funded improvements at nearby Pageant Drive play area. Further contributions from ward members Cllr Jayne Greenaway and Mayor of the Borough of Telford and Wrekin, Cllr Raj Mehta’s “Councillors’ Pride Fund” – a funding source allocated by the council to ward members to support local projects – also supported the Spring Village improvements.
