A fresh look for Nunney playground

The newly renovated children’s playground in Nunney, Frome, has officially opened, offering a fantastic space for local families and children to enjoy.

Nunney Parish Council received £20,000 in funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, plus a further £5,000 from local resident Angela Yeoman and the same amount from Whatley quarry.

The playground has new swings, a climbing frame, rollover bars and safer surfacing for the play area and surrounding pathways. To celebrate its opening, Emma Robbins, Area Clerk, and Jamie Reddin, who joined our Higher Apprentice programme when he left school, attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“Having grown up in the area, it’s great to see how the quarry’s presence here goes beyond the site,” said Jamie. “It’s providing local jobs and delivering benefits to the wider community.”
