Launch of Birkin Play Area
The work at Birkin Play area is now complete and was formally opened at a well attended event on 21 July 2012 that included dozens of local residents and the Mayor of Selby District, Cllr Jack Crawford.
The project has seen the installation of new play equipment, including a cone climber, swings, a mini soccer pitch and a trailblazer climbing net. Most of the equipment is constructed of timber and rope, with a grass mat surface to retain a naturalistic look.
The new play area cost £18,900 and was funded through landfill community grants from Eggborough Power Station and WREN, and is set to make a huge difference to the local community. Children and families will be able to congregate in a safe, well equipped play space, and the redevelopment of the disused grassland will have a positive visual impact on the village.
Debbie White, a local resident who has been supporting the project said “I am absolutely delighted that the project is finally complete, after all the hard work that has been put in over the past four years. I am looking forward to seeing the young people of the village enjoying our fantastic new facilities.”
