A new group has been formed to protect and improve a park in Arnold.
The Friends of Church Lane & St. Mary’s Play Park & Recreation Ground has been launched with the ambition of creating a new and improved children’s park and recreation ground.
Work to improve the site has already taken place after local councillor Michael Payne secured funding to improve access points to the recreation Ground, with new steps being put in place.
The group will now campaign to try and secure improvements to the children’s play park and has been formed by local councillor Michael Payne.
Councillor Payne told Gedling Eye: “Working together we can make this and other local parks and green spaces great places for all.
“We are blessed to have such lovely green spaces in and around Arnold. I’ll always fight to improve and protect them.
“Please join our Friends Group and help me improve and transform our local children’s play park”
Those interested in getting involved can join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/923229978609542/
They can also e-mail Councillor Michael Payne on cllr.michael.payne@gedling.gov.uk using the email Subject ‘FRIENDS’
He added: “Together we will improve this popular children’s play park for local families to enjoy.”
