In December 2019, Cannock Chase Council’s Cabinet approved the spending of £120,000 to improve the play area and open space at The Cema – Chapel Street Park in Norton Canes.
The money has been allocated from Section 106 funds collected from housing developments in the village.
The improvements will include a new fully equipped play area, circular footpaths, landscaping, green gym equipment, to incorporate some artwork recognising the heritage of the area relating to the canal basin.
The Council is working closely with the Parish Council to seek the views of local people to see how the wider community would like the new play area and open space to look.
The development will be designed to fit into the surroundings and enhance the local environment and will be suitable for all ages and interests.
Consultation launched in November 2020 and closed on 11 January. The results of this survey are available to download below.
The new play area will be opening in Summer 2021!
Further updates will be published on this page as and when appropriate.
