Let's hope this one can remain in good condition for everyone to enjoy
A new playground for teenagers has been completed at Walverden Park, as part of the Nelson Town Deal project.
The new recreational area in the Brunswick Street park has been created through the Healthy Town strand of the Town Deal project and will provide both play and fitness equipment for young people. The decision to create a playground for older children follows a public consultation held last October, when residents were asked what they would like to see in place of the existing playground, which was in very poor condition following years of repeated vandalism.Councillor Asjad Mahmood, Leader of Pendle Borough Council and Nelson Town Deal Board member, said: “I am really pleased that we now have something to offer teenagers in Nelson.
Councillor Zafar Ali, the Council’s Portfolio Holder for Environment and Climate Change, as well as a member of the Town Deal Board and Chairman of the Finance Committee for Nelson Town Council, added: “This new playground is one of four being funded through the Nelson Town Deal as part of the Healthy Town project, along with another one for juniors at Walverden Park, one at Marsden Park and one at Victoria Park.
“Nelson Town Council is also contributing £250,000 over the period of the Town Deal towards the parks project and I think that level of funding is vital for the delivery of the project.”
