This is part of a substantial commitment to play in the region of £900,000 by Flintshire County Council.

‘The Council has made a clear commitment to sustaining play provision within the County and is investing in play areas and synthetic sport pitches such as this one in Mold. I am proud that Flintshire has taken this bold step and continues to protect such facilities for our residents to use and enjoy.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Flintshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Leisure Services, Councillor Kevin Jones, said: ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“I am delighted with the planned improvements to play areas and sports pitches detailed in this report. I am sure that they will prove popular with local pupils and residents.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Local ward member, Councillor Haydn Bateman, said: ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
