Our small park on Holbrook Road has seen three new arrivals over the past few weeks: a multi-use activity centre, a climbing frame and a spinner roundabout. And despite the freezing weather, local children have been enjoying trying out the new kit. I am glad their blood is warmer than mine!

The new pieces of play equipment have been installed by Cambridge City Council as part of a makeover, and there’s also new safety surfacing.

The equipment was last updated in 1995 by Cambridge City Council after youngsters got up a petition, which I helped them take to the Council’s Leisure Committee. The climbing frame installed in the 90s was well used by children over the years, but had become tired and outdated.

I am very grateful to all the people who took the time to share their ideas about the makeover when I ran my consultation last summer, and I hope you are pleased with the results.
