Local Councillors Andrew Scopes, Shaf Ali and Annie Maloney are pleased to welcome planning giving the go-ahead to a multi-use games area (MUGA) on Cottingley Drive.
As we have previously reported, the MUGA will be sited on the former skate park and accompanied with gym equipment, including a sit-up table, parallel bars and an overhead ladder, as well as a concrete table tennis table.
3m high fencing, tree and bulb planting, and concrete benches for seating are also planned for the site. The area will be well-lit from October to April until at least 8pm which Councillors have agreed to fund at a cost of £33,000.
Councillors Andrew Scopes, Shaf Ali and Annie Maloney (Labour, Beeston & Holbeck) said:
“We’re so pleased that these new facilities have been given the go-ahead and hope that works will start soon.
“Cottingley residents deserve a safe and inviting outdoor space for young and old alike to stay physically active and we are confident that this will be a big improvement for the area.”
