WORK has begun on the new playground in Promenade Park, with the removal of the old play area underway.

The transformation of the garden play area has started with the removal of the old play equipment.

Next week will see the start of the installation of the brand-new, inclusive play area.

The project is being delivered in partnership with KOMPAN and is part-funded by the Government's UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

For updates on the park and when it is finished, follow Maldon Promenade Park on Facebook.
