CHILDREN in Rudheath have a brand new play area to enjoy thanks to a home builder.

Located in the heart of the Barratt Homes Dane View development, the play area has been designed for children of all ages.

It features a slide, swings and equipment for little ones to use.

With a greater emphasis being placed on spending more time outdoors, the new play area provides families with an ideal opportunity to encourage their children to play, all while remaining safe and close to home.

Michaela Lancaster, sales director at Barratt Homes Manchester, said: "We are not only committed to building quality new homes in the area, but also to creating a new community within our developments and our new play area is a great example of this.

"With family homes and schools nearby, it’s important that we provide open spaces and play areas such as this so that the existing community and the new development can interact with each other and take advantage of this new space.

"We also want our residents to have peace of mind knowing their children have somewhere to play close to their home.

"We hope that residents of all ages will enjoy this facility for many years to come."

Dane View is a rural development close to the River Dane and Delamere Forest, with open space for residents and families to enjoy fun outdoor activities.
