£100,000 being spent on giving Smethwick playarea a spruce up
Youngsters in a Smethwick street will be looking forward to the completion of a £100,000 playground improvement scheme.
Sandwell Council is pumping the cash into transforming the Unett Stree playarea in Smethwick, as part of efforts to enhancing green spaces for residents.
The project will see upgrades to both the junior and toddler play zones including climbing, sliding, swinging and spinning.
Families gave design suggestions for the site ensuring the investment reflects what matters most to the community.
Councillor Suzanne Hartwell, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Community at Sandwell Council, said: “This scheme forms part of a wider £4 million investment being delivered across Sandwell’s green spaces, reinforcing the council’s aim to provide high-quality, accessible outdoor spaces that support health, wellbeing and community pride.
“Work is scheduled to begin soon, and Sandwell Council looks forward to welcoming residents to enjoy the enhanced Unett Street Open Space once the improvements are complete.”
