Funding secured through the Towns and Villages Fund totalling £18,800, has meant that Ferryhill Town Council will be able to replace the old play equipment at Carlton Street in Ferryhill Station.
The equipment, which has been in situ for over 20 years has suffered badly through the passage of time and is now in a dreadful condition.
Children in the local area have been consulted on the plans and have voted for their preferred type of facility.
A spokesperson said: “The Town Council would like to say a huge thank you to 4Together Partnership who manage the Towns and Villages Fund for contributing the funds to enable this project to be brought to fruition.”
Mayor, Councillor Curtis Bihari said: “Ferryhill Town Council is thrilled that it has been successful in securing the funds required to replace the worn and outdated play equipment at Carlton Street with new and modern equipment, for the benefit of local children.
“I’d like to repeat the thanks to 4Together Partnership for contributing the desperately needed funds that have enabled this project to be delivered.”
