Playground features in Chronicle

The opening of the revamped playground in Audlem features in this week's Nantwich Chronicle. There's a photograph of Cheshire East Mayor, Cllr Margaret Simon, Audlem parish councillor Peter Morgan and local youngster Frederick Bosley, aged 11.

Cheshire East Council has contributed £17,000 towards Audlem Children's Playground in order to attract a wider age group, improve facilities and safety.

The Mayor said: "I'm so proud to see this project come to fruition and the end result has been worth all the hard work.

"It's a wonderful resource that has captured the imagination and playful spirit of a whole generation of youngsters in East Cheshire."

Peter Morgan added: "We've had reports before the snow fall that children were having a whale of a time on the new adventure slide and climbing frame.

"Too many children aren't getting enough exercise these days, probably because many parks don't offer the sophisticated challenge that, say, a computer game would."

Peter added his thanks to the Parish Council committee members, especially Irene Stockton, who assisted in making the project possible.
