Local businesses support Glazebury play area completion

05 June 2015

United Utilities and Eric Wright Civil Engineering have been supporting Glazebury residents by adding the finishing touches to a new play area made entirely from natural materials.

 

New child-friendly gates onto the site, funded by United Utilities, add to the footpath already installed by Eric Wright Civil Engineering.

 

The paths and gates are part of a project to transform land provided to Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council by Bents Garden & Home into a natural, interactive play area and community space for the residents of the village.

 

Bents Garden & Home are also helping by organising a staff day to help with the final tasks including the sowing of wildflower areas in preparation for the official opening. The play area will open at 1pm on Saturday 6th June with children's play activities including den building, mini-beast hunts and natural crafts.

 

The new play area offers a climbing and seating area made from giant logs, a willow tunnel, den-building areas, a community orchard and wildlife-friendly hedges, trees and wildflowers.

 

The project has been organised and coordinated by Glazebury Community Play Area Committee with support from The Mersey Forest.

 

Graham Borg, group chair and local resident said: "We are so grateful to these businesses for their help with these final crucial steps, and would like to offer a big welcome to all members of the community when we open the play area in two weeks' time".
