Improvement works are taking place at a park in Redditch.

Work is taking place at Morton Stanley Park as part of Redditch Borough Council's ongoing investment in parks and open spaces.

Redditch Borough Council started the project this week, aiming to upgrade facilities for visitors of all ages.

Plans include a new outdoor fitness area, new ball park, new play equipment, and additional picnic benches.

Councillor Matt Dormer, leader of the council, said: "Morton Stanley Park is one of Redditch's most popular green spaces and these improvements will provide new opportunities for residents and families to be active, socialise, and enjoy the outdoors.

"We thank visitors for their patience while the works are carried out and look forward to seeing the new facilities in use.

"This is just the latest step in a sequence of park projects that we aim to deliver over the next 18 months."

The works are part of the council’s ongoing commitment to improving parks and creating welcoming outdoor environments for the community.

During construction, large vehicles will be operating in the park and three parking bays will be temporarily closed to serve as a contractor compound.

Visitors are advised to take extra care while in the park and to follow any temporary signage.

The council hopes to complete the improvements by the end of September, although this will depend on weather conditions.
