Cllr Les Smith, Mayor of Minehead, added: “I am delighted that the new play area has been so well received by local children and play groups.” 

Cllr David Westcott, Lead Member for Community and Customers, said: “We are grateful to Minehead Town Council for their management of the play area, the newly installed equipment will be a great asset to our local community.”
