I was pleased to see work commencing on the replacement playground at Scatcherd Park. Despite the appalling weather, contractors have moved in to commence work to replace the tired and old playground with an up to date state-of-the-art one which will become another good reason for visiting Morley Town Centre. The new playground, along with the new Leisure Centre and proposed refurbished skate park will offer a real jewel in Morley's crown encouraging people to come to Morley to shop, be active, skate and bmx as well as visit the new playground with their children.
It will go hand in hand with the renaissance that has taken place in Scatcherd Park and Scarth Gardens which has meant a substantial increase in use of the park by local residents.
MBI councillors have worked hard to find the finance for these new projects and it comes hot on the heels of refurbishments at Hembrigg and Hesketh Lane playgrounds with additional work to be undertaken at Churwell and Dartmouth later this year.
We have been fully committed to working through all playgrounds across the Morley area and will continue to campaign, persuade and cajole additional cash into the area until with can have similar playgrounds at all our parks.
