Hundreds of people have issued a call to have a playground in Gedling renovated.
A petition has been started and so far signed by over 250 people calling for the playground at Lambley Lane Recreational Ground to be revamped.
The online petition was set up by Zanda Dibbo-Pajączkowski, who is a member of the Gedling Parks Community Group. The group take action to improve a number of the borough’s parks and green spaces.
On the petition homepage she wrote: “The playground on Lambley Recreation Ground is well overdue a refurbishment and to apply for funding, we need to show that the local community support the venture.
“Having a new safe, exciting facility, will be a great asset to the local area, and will add to the parks overall value.
“In revitalising the playground, it will add to its overall appeal to the local community, and create a better place to encourage children to get fresh air – whilst inviting physical activity.
“A tidier area with better functionality, will encourage more social interaction, and create a more harmonious environment for wellbeing.”

The Gedling Parks Community Group has been set up by councillors Jenny Hollingsworth and Lynda Pearson, with support from Jane Richardson who is based at Gedling Borough Council.
Over the last year the group has organised litter picks on the local parks inside the Gedling ward (Lambley Recreation Ground, Jubilee Park, Willow Park), to encourage people to get involved in making the area better.
Zanda Dibbo-Pajączkowski said: “We’re always looking for more volunteers to help with litter picks, organise events, and to join our group helping to improve our local area.”
