The idea
Comberbach Parish Council is excited to announce plans for upgrading the Infants' Play Equipment in our popular Recreation Area which has provided decades of enjoyment but is now showing signs of wear and doesn't meet the needs of todays young generation. This enhancement aims to deliver a more engaging and inclusive play space, which will better meet the needs of children with special needs and exploits the space available more effectively. The total project cost will be £20K inclusive of design, equipment, manufacturer warranty and installation. We’re committed to funding this project, utilising both the precept collected annually through Council Tax and savings from our reserve fund. To further support our efforts, we are actively seeking grant funding from external organisations and local sponsors to help us create a vibrant play environment for the community’s youngest members.
What we'll deliver
- Enhanced infant play area for 2-5 year olds to include:
- Square and angled Towers
