Board member Voirrey Heaton says it's one of the 'safest' in the town

Peel Commissioners will be revamping a children's play area in one of its housing estates following an appeal from a parent. 

Equipment at the Close Caaig estate was due to be removed - however local authority member Voirrey Heaton met with a parent in the area who said the park allowed youngsters to play independently. 

The commissioners agreed at last night's meeting that the play area was one of the 'safest' and had no problems with anti-social behaviour, so it should be refurbished with landscaping works to encourage adventurous play. 

Ms Heaton says she hopes the outcome will suit 'everybody'.
