A newly-installed “birds nest” swing, also known as a “cradle” swing, has been launched at Scarcroft Green in York.
The areas three ward councillors were joined by a number of young people to give the swing its first push.
The swing, which can be used by all generations and people with disabilities, has been funded and installed from a budget secured by the councillors Sandy Fraser, Julie Gunnell and Dave Merrett.
Coun Gunnell said: “We wanted to enhance the play facilities on the Green. And we wanted something that could be used by people with disabilities, their carers and young people of all ages – even grandparents !”
Coun Sandy Fraser said: “This is part of our priority to improve the amenities for young people in particular, but also for those facilities to be inclusive.”
