The contractors at Moller Ring are hoping to finish most of their work on site next week – which is great news! However, we need to keep the site closed for a further few weeks to let the turf establish and organise some finishing touches. Here’s how it looks at the moment… 😀

Since our last update, the team at Moller Ring have managed to get some tarmac on to the paths, and the seating and sand filled carpet has been installed too. In spite of the rain, the team have continued to work really hard and it’s all still moving forwards. Hoping it’ll all come together nicely over the next few weeks!

Just a reminder that this phase of work will focus on upgrading the the play area with some new, traditional timber play equipment like a climbing frame and swings, as well as natural play elements like earth mounds, tunnels, bridges and a new trim trail with balance beams and monkey bars.

We’ve been busy consulting with local residents and users about the play space at Moller Ring – thank you to everyone who has responded to the survey. The details will now be passed on to our landscape architect who will produce a draft design for the area. We’ll share this with you all once we have it. Thanks again for sharing your ideas.

Delighted to announce that we will be working on the Moller Ring play area at Crawshawbooth, Rossendale.

There’s a lot of excitement and enthusiasm for the improvement of the area, so we’re really looking forward to meeting residents and visitors over the following months.
