MEMBERS of the public are invited to join in discussions about the proposed new playground for Brierfield's Heyhead Park.

The Friends of Brierfield Parks, which includes Benthead and Heyhead parks, will meet at 10am, next Wednesday, at Brierfield Town Hall.

A chairman, secretary and treasurer for the Friends group will also be elected.

Fred Stewart, the council's parks outreach officer, said: "This is a meeting to allow local residents to air their views and put forward their wishes for the future development of Benthead and Heyhead Park. The council's parks section cannot work in isolation in the development of the parks." For further information contact Fred Stewart on 01282 661600.
