John Haken, High Peak Borough Council’s Executive Councillor for Operational Services, said: “This is a popular play area next to a busy road so these improvements will make a real difference to all those who use these facilities.
“I was pleased to see children enjoying the play area when I visited – it’s lovely to know that they, and their families, can do so with confidence that we’re putting their safety first.”
