The Pollyfield “infant” play area next to the Pollyfield Community Centre in East the Water has been identified as in desperate need of investment and had to be closed for a period recently over safety concerns.

TDC will use a community cash contribution from the local Cleave Wood development of just over £40,000, and £25,000 from its play area capital reserve funds to fund the work. The local community had also raised more than £15,000 towards improvements.
