Improved safety works begin at Gweedore playground

The play area in Gaoth Dobhair will undergo an update this week to add extra safety precautions for local children.

A new soft play surface will be added to the playground in an update which was fundraised by council officials and residents.

The community effort has been welcomed by Cllr. Micheál Cholm Mac Giolla Easbuig, who said the works today are an encouraging step.

Cllr Mac Giolla Easbuig said the park will be closed this week and should be opened again by the weekend. He thanked everyone who was involved in the initiative, including the fundraisers and those carrying out the updates.
