A much-loved playground in Scawby has been transformed thanks to a £19,812 community grant, creating an even better place for local children and families to play, explore and spend time together.
Scawby Parish Council used the funding to upgrade play equipment, giving the site a fresh new look and creating more opportunities for outdoor activity, adventure and fun.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “Community grants help turn local ideas into reality.
“This investment has created a fantastic space where children can play, families can come together and the community can make memories for years to come.
“We promised to back town and parish councils to make things happen in their communities, and this is another example of that commitment being delivered.”
The project is part of North Lincolnshire Council’s ongoing commitment to supporting grassroots initiatives that strengthen communities and improve local spaces.
Community grant funding is available to support local groups and organisations to deliver projects that help people stay safe and well, while creating stronger, more connected communities.
Cllr Janet Lee said: “Good quality play spaces are incredibly important for children and young people.
“This project shows what can be achieved when local communities have the support to bring their ideas to life. It’s wonderful to see a space that will benefit families across Scawby for many years to come.”
The project was supported through North Lincolnshire Council’s Community Grant Fund, which helps local groups and organisations deliver projects that strengthen communities and improve local places.
