Cannock Chase Council’s Cabinet has approved spending of £120,000 to improve the play area and open space at The Cema in Norton Canes.
The money has been allocated from section 106 funds collected from the housing development south of the Red Lion Lane in Norton Canes.
The improvements will include a new fully equipped play area, circular footpaths, a community sculpture, landscaping and green gym equipment. Consultation will be taking place with local schools and the community to help inform how the play area and open space will look.
Councillor Christine Mitchell, Portfolio Leader for Culture and Sport said: “Councils have a major role to play in the provision of good quality parks, play areas and open spaces.
“I’m delighted that these funds have been allocated. We are keen to progress this development for it to be completed by the second quarter of 2020.
“The development will be designed to fit into the surroundings and enhance the local environment and will be able to be used by people of all ages and interests.”
