A play park has undergone a £20k makeover.

A new low platform roundabout has been installed at New Road playground in Minster, as well as a zip wire.

The upgrades were completed by Swale council, and also included safety surfacing.

Councillors from the Sheppey Area Committee agreed to fund the work.

The latest improvements to the popular site come after maintenance work was done last year, which included repairing and repainting the play equipment.
