A new play area, which has been designed in accordance with Play England's Design for Play strategy, has been unveiled for Egford Lane Playing Fields in Frome, Somerset.

Mendip District Council (MDC) has invested more than £55,000 in the facility, which incorporates fun landscaping alongside play equipment. Nigel Hewitt-Cooper, MDC's deputy portfolio holder for street and landscape services, said: "Working with the people in Frome to provide more play facilities in the town is one of the council's key priorities of enhancing Mendip."

The new park's features were determined following consultation conducted by children's charity Barnardo's.
