Investing in improving play and leisure facilities for communities is a priority for the Council.

Councillor Matt Swindlehurst, Cabinet member for Leisure and Tourism, said: 

> “We’re investing in improving and upgrading amenities like these in Cheadle because we know that being more active, and spending time outdoors, has such a positive effect on our health and wellbeing.

> “Places like these matter to local communities because they provide young people and families with spaces to meet friends to play, take part in physical activity, and be social.

> “So I’m delighted to see these improvements now open in Cheadle. They’re an asset the people who live here will enjoy for many years to come.”

More improvements are planned at Churchill Road including a perimeter path, a football building and toilets, and improvements to the entrance and the car parking. More details will be shared about these projects when available.

## Real news takes time. Thanks for taking yours.

You've just read a story that took time to get right. No clickbait, no racing to be first, no ads chasing you down the page.

I started The Staffordshire Signal because I got fed up of local news that chased clicks instead of stories. We're independent, not-for-profit, IMPRESS-regulated and owned right here, so we answer to nobody but you.

> The honest bit: local news only survives if local people choose it. If we don't, it goes.
