RESIDENTS are to be consulted over plans for a new play area.
The play area would be situated on Roseberry playing field at Redcar, Teesside, and is the idea of the Top Lakes Residents' Association and the Kirkleatham Community Forum.
The two groups asked the community to come up with ideas of things they wanted to see developed in the area over the next couple of years.
A play area for youngsters aged up to 16 was the most popular suggestion.
Enron, based at the Wilton site, has been involved with the project and has produced some concept drawings to give an idea of what the site would look like.
It will form the basis of a public consultation exercise taking place over the next couple of months.
The drawings can be viewed at the Youth Centre, in Roseberry Square, and people are being encouraged to go along and voice their opinions on what would be a good idea to include in the play area.
Once the consultation is completed, the groups involved in the scheme hope to put in a bid for Single Regeneration Budget funding for the play area, which is thought to cost about £80,000.
The residents' association is contributing to the cost of the play area with a fundraising concert by the Marske Fishermen's Choir, on Wednesday, March 7, at the Grosmont Road Community Centre, Redcar, at 7.15pm
Tickets cost £1, and there will be a raffle and refreshments. Everyone welcome.
