LAUNCESTON Rotary Club has presented £750 to a village looking to improve its outdoor facilities for children.

The North Petherwin Parish Hall Playground Project team were presented with a cheque for £750 by Launceston Rotarian Leighton Penhale at the Rotary shop on Friday, April 5. This money will be used towards the committee’s ongoing project to create a fantastic new play area for local children in the community.

A spokesperson from the committee said: “We are delighted to have received generous funding from Launceston Rotary to support phase 1 of our ambitious project to redevelop North Petherwin’s playground to provide an exciting outdoor play and meeting space for the whole community.

“Phase 1 will include the installation of a new basket swing and toddler play unit with safety surfacing and path as well as restoration of the playground’s existing swing sets — all of which should be available for the community to enjoy from this summer!”
