Huncoat: HBC aiming to refurbish Station Road park

Independent Councillor Dave Parkins has raised concerns that a park in Huncoat is currently not fit for purpose and is getting a £100,000 revamp. Dave said he has been working with council officers on this and has said there is currently a consultation ongoing with residents over what they would like to see in the play area.

Cllr Ken Moss, Cabinet member for parks said, "The Council is looking to refurbish the play area at Station Road recreation ground in Huncoat but it is at the very early stages. We are is currently consulting local children and residents about the type of play equipment which could be used. Design proposals will be then be formulated and considered along with suitable sources of funding. Once a proposal has been firmed up residents and local children will be consulted again to gauge their views.”
