A parish council is urging residents to back plans to fund the regeneration of a local park.

Colwick Parish Council is hoping to apply for WREN funding to revamp Valeside Gardens park in the village

They hope to get £50,000 funding to help make the park a great place for children to play and for people to socialise.

The proposals for the park revamp are currently on display in the main hall of the community centre in the village and local people are being urged to look and have their say before the bid goes forward.

Alison Nunn, a councillor on Colwick Parish Council, said: “Please take a look at these plans and add your name to the petition, so we can make a good case to Gedling Borough Council for the WREN funding application that we are in dire need of.

“We are always hearing comments as to why other parts of Gedling borough have great play areas, and we don’t. It’s because these people work together and put a good case forward.

She added: “If we as a community don’t do this then we will not have a shiny new play area and our children cannot play near their homes.”

The parish council are asking residents to sign the petition at the community centre or share their views on the proposals by emailing alisonnunn@hotmail.com
