PARENTS are to be given the final say on what equipment will be going into three new play areas in Ferryhill, County Durham.
A £30,000 grant from Sure Start means that the development of the Mainsforth recreation ground, Surtees play area and King George V playing field can go ahead.
Sure Start has already consulted parents' groups from each of the three areas to determine what toddler and junior play equipment they would like to see on the sites.
Jamie Corrigan, executive officer for Ferryhill Town Council, said: "We are asking the suppliers to come up with a design to fulfill the requirements of the parents.
"Once we have got them, there will be a public meeting held for everybody to have their say, and that will probably be in the next month or so.
