Playground for kids

BUDDING basketball players and skateboard wizards will soon be able to hone their skills on a new Leigh playground.

Overgrown land off Briar Grove in Westleigh is set to be transformed into a meeting place for young people, featuring a skateboard ramp, a group swing, basket ball post and two shelters. A circular area, about 20 metres in diameter will be developed for the meeting place and will be accessed by an unmade track.
