Makeover
madness!
As part
of BBC Voices at Turnshaws, it's time to get out the wellies and put
in a bit of hard graft to transform the Burton recreational ground
into somewhere that children of ALL abilities can enjoy! |

The makeover site |

BBC Voices
Producer Claire Williams says: "Working together with Kirklees
council, the Parish council and many local businesses and community
groups we hope to transform the existing playground into a tranquil
play and picnic area over the course of one weekend - the 28th and
29th of June. Everybody is welcome to come down and lend a hand, and
hopefully have some fun at the same time!"

in the makeover madness! |
Claire
says the weekend will be the culmination of months of work: "We're
hoping that the makeover will mean the recreation ground will make
it more accessible and inclusive for everyone at Turnshaws - many
of whom are wheelchair users. Over the weekend, we'll be painting
the existing play equipment, rebuilding a VERY long dry stone wall,
planting a new bed of shrubs and trees to shield the play area from
the surrounding houses, and making some mounds from topsoil for older
children to ride their mountain bikes over."
It's a
BIG task, and this is where YOU (yes, YOU!) come in! Why not come
along and take part in the makeover - the more the merrier...EVERYBODY
is welcome!
Work's already begun on the makeover site!
