The community of New Hedges has shared news on the progress of the new accessible play park, now nearing completion.

County councillor for the ward Cllr Rhys Jordan said: “This remarkable project has truly been designed ‘for the community, by the community’.

“Undertakings of this scale can be challenging even for paid professionals, making the achievement of our volunteers even more extraordinary. Hundreds of volunteer hours have gone into fundraising, writing bids, and coordinating the project, all given freely and selflessly.

“On behalf of everyone in the area, I'd like to extend heartfelt thanks to all volunteers who have contributed their time, donated raffle prizes, supported events, or helped in any way.

“Without your collective efforts, this wonderful community asset would still be a dream.”
