Work is set to start next week on a new children's play area in Shipley.

Bradford Council's parks and landscape service and Frizinghall Partnerhsip are working to provide it on Shipley Fields Road.

Currently the land is open space and fenced but there is no play equipment. The Frizinghall Partnership carried out consultation with the local community which established the need.

The play area will be fenced off and will include junior and toddler swings, a parrot see-saw, springy scooter, a multi unit, benches, gates and bins.

Wren and Biffa landfill tax credits will fund the project.
