Revamp for two play areas

OVER £10,500 looks set to be spent on revamping two Whitehaven play areas.

Jericho Park at Hillcrest could receive new equipment for toddlers and younger children as well as a fence to help with security and isolate the area from a dog-walking route.

The cost will be £9,750 and it is hoped the work will be carried out by March next year.

Kells play area is also “looking a little tired’’ states a report to tomorrow’s Local Committee for Copeland, and will be repainted at a cost of nearly £1,000.

Cumbria county councillors are recommended to agree the grants.

Artists welcome

LOCAL artists are invited to take part in Lowes Court Gallery’s upcoming annual open exhibition.

It is staged at the gallery on Egremont Main Street from Saturday, October 6, and is open to Cumbrian members and non-members, with two pieces permitted per entrant.

The exhibition is non-selective (space permitting), and exhibits have to be delivered to the gallery by 5pm on Wednesday, October 3.

Entry forms are available from the gallery. For more information contact 01946 820693.
