Village youngsters knew exactly what they wanted when asked in a questionnaire about a new playground.

And that gave Minster Lovell Parish Council the ideas they needed to furnish the Ripley Avenue Amenity Area. Equipment includes swings, a seesaw and a multi-play unit called "The Twist".

The whole area has a safety surface.

The initiative was a joint venture between the parish council and West Oxfordshire District Council and was prompted by local parents' complaints that there was nowhere suitable for their children to play, was formally opened by district council Cabinet member Cllr Louise Chapman.
