Work has begun on a £500,000 revamp of children's play areas across Bridgend county borough. The refurbishments, which will take place across a number of play areas, will look to provide inclusive equipment and spaces for children that could be utilised by many local families. The work is being carried out in a series of contracts managed by Bridgend County Borough Council's Green Spaces section.
The move was widely approved by councillors at a monthly cabinet meeting, with Councillor John Spanswick, who is the cabinet member for communities, saying the work was part of a significant investment from the council that would be beneficial for locals for years to come. He said: "We recognise that parks and play areas form an essential part of our local communities, enabling young children to have fun and play safely.
"This is why we're making a significant investment in improving these areas, which will include inclusive play equipment which young children of any ability can enjoy. The refurbishment programme will ensure that these play areas can be utilised by local families and young people for many years to come."
