The newly refurbished play area at Dalelands in Market Drayton was formerly opened on Saturday 17 June by the Mayor of Market Drayton Councillor Roy Aldcroft. Refurbishment included new metal fencing surrounding the park area, new play equipment, basketball hoop, mini road circuit with signs, and the removal of a large grass hump creating a ball play area with fixed goal posts.
The whole project cost just under £102,000 funded in part by monies from new developments in Market Drayton.
Councillor Roy Aldcroft said ‘ It was the result of good team work by Town Council Staff and Councillors working closely with the local community to try to ensure we made best use of the land available. Clearing the ‘hump’ and levelling a large area has provided a large ball park, and an area where the community can hold family fun days during our sunny summers. We were very grateful for all those residents who took the trouble to comment on the proposals.
This follows the refurbishment of Croft Way play area and is part of an ongoing programme of upgrades by Market Drayton Town Council.
