Funding approved for new playground in Killamarsh
Councillor Steve Clough, Chair of Killamarsh Parish Council, believes the facility will make a huge difference to the lives of people living in the area.
Children in Killamarsh are set to get a new playground thanks to a £100,000 grant from FCC Communities Foundation.
The money will be used to install a brand-new playground at High Moor, Killamarsh on Mansfield Road.
Councillor Steve Clough, Chair of Killamarsh Parish Council, believes the facility will make a huge difference to the lives of people living in the area. He says “This project will provide a real boost to the people of Killamarsh. It’s fantastic that FCC Communities Foundation has awarded us this money and we’re really looking forward to our new playground taking shape over the next few months”.
FCC Communities Foundation is a not-for-profit business that awards grants for community projects through the Landfill Communities Fund.
Penny Horne, FCC Communities Foundation grant manager, says: “We’re delighted to be supporting the Killamarsh - High Moor Playground project and pleased our funding will provide such a fantastic facility for children and young families within Killamarsh.
“FCC Communities Foundation is always happy to consider grant applications for projects that make a difference to local communities and we’re really looking forward to seeing this one take shape soon.”
Councillor Clough says “The Parish Council are looking forward to working closely with KOMPAN who were selected for the design and installation of the playground after a competitive tender process”.
