MORE than £800 was raised at a fun day to help a friends group with its work on a series of parks.

The Friends of the Denes group is helping revamp the parks, which run from Hopetown Lane, near North Road, to Cockerton.

On Saturday, a fun day was held to raise funds for the group, and to give organisers a chance to consult residents about work.

One area earmarked for a revamp is a play area in the Play Dene, near Craig Street.

More than £800 was raised on the day. More fun days are being planned.
