Councillors will next week discuss plans to renovate the play area at Warwick's Mill Gardens.

A report set to go before Warwick District Council's cabinet says the play area has some of the oldest equipment in the area and it needs replacing.

"We are seeking to improve the quality of its green spaces throughout Warwick district," the council's report said.

"This is to ensure that everyone has access to high quality public open spaces within 15-minutes' walk of their home that are defined as 'good' by the Green Flag self-assessment criteria."

The council will also consider renovating the equipment at Castle Farm in Kenilworth, but the works at Mill Garden are due to happen first.

An exact timeline has not been outlined, with a contractor also yet to be decided.

Cabinet will vote next Thursday (December 5) whether to press ahead with the works or not.

The report continued: "The play equipment in Mill Gardens lacks key components which would be included in the replacement play equipment, such as there is no swing provision and there is limited equipment for people with accessibility issues and equipment such as the shelter has been removed and there is a void area in this prominent part of the park."
