A PRIMARY school wants to improve its playground as part of improvements around its site.

Plans have been submitted to Darlington Borough Council for High Coniscliffe Primary School to perform £18,000 worth of works.

The project would include a seating area with canopy, new log fencing and a new ramp for an improved entrance to meet disability act standards.

The work is expected to cost £18,000 as part of a larger project worth £150,000 to improve the external environment at the school.
