Name search for new town playpark

A name for the new playwark in Newtown town centre will be considered by a town council committee on Monday.

The new activity park is being built in the Town Hall Grounds as part of the Open Newtown project.

In July the town council agreed to open up the naming of the site to the public and other groups.

It is understood a shortlist of names is due to go before the Services Committee on Monday before being put to the full town council later in the month.

The new park, which includes a range of large-scale activities, is due to open shortly.
