The work could be completed as early as next week

A fun new feature is set for a playground near Skegness - with work currently underway to install it.

Phase 3 of the improvement works at Spilsby play park is now underway, with an additional £30,000 having been invested.

Town Clerk Jack Sargent explains: “We are extending the wetpour surfacing to secure three picnic benches to the ground and two new trampolines are being installed .

“Repairs are being carried out to our inclusive pod swing, (the original foundations had become unstable) and new wetpour surfacing will be installed around the swing.”

As reported by the Standard, the play park had been the target of vandal attacks in recent months, with a roundabout damaged and - in the latest incident - an information board being ripped out of the ground.

“Sadly, vandals damaged the inclusive roundabout, so we are having repairs to that unit,” Mr Sargent adds. “The vandals removed the post and information board from the site. Repairs are being made to this section of the play area. We are looking at securing additional funding for a new notice board.”

So far, Spilsby Town Council has invested in the region of £180,000 in works to upgrade the community playground, located in Ancaster Avenue.

The Council is hoping the latest round of works will be completed by the end of next week.
