VOLUNTEERS who are overseeing the regeneration of a run-down park were given a boost to their work this week.
The Friends of North Park group in Darlington are helping to improve the park, off Cumberland Street, and have already spent £14,000.
On Tuesday, the group was given a number of plants by Homebase, in Darlington.
The store has also donated garden furniture to be raffled at a family fun day, which will be held in North Park on Sunday from 2pm.
Councillor Steve Jones, chairman of the friends, said: "We are very grateful to Homebase for their help.
Work on the park is coming on well, and we are all looking forward to the fun day. We'd like as many people as possible to come along."
