New play area for King's Lynn tots
£30k has been spent on it
A new £30,000 play area is now open in South Lynn.
West Norfolk Borough Council hope it will encourage toddlers to be more active.
Cllr Alexandra Kemp, ward member for South and West Lynn, said: “It is very good news for children and families that the new area for toddlers in South Lynn has now arrived. I asked for a new play area, as I wanted to make sure younger children in my ward had a play area space near their homes. Good play facilities are a very important part of healthy communities.”
The council has invested £30k in South Lynn to provide a new play area for toddlers, along with additional fencing, benches and bins. It is one of a number of schemes put forward through the King’s Lynn Area Consultative Committee (KLACC).
Councillor Sam Sandell, cabinet member for people and communities, said: “Providing play areas gives children the opportunity to enjoy outdoor fun in a safe environment that’s near to home and we’re delivering a number of new or expanded play areas in 2022.
“I’m also delighted that many of these projects have come through KLACC, which empowers ward members to really represent their communities by using their local knowledge to suggest schemes like this."
