We’re delighted to share that the Holywell play area has received an exciting upgrade, made possible through a £12,500 grant from Watford Borough Council’s Neighbourhood Grant programme.

This funding has allowed us to introduce a range of new features, including a brand‑new zip wire, a replacement cradle swing, and refreshed play area surfacing – all designed to improve both safety and enjoyment for local families. These enhancements form part of our ongoing commitment to creating high‑quality, accessible outdoor spaces across our neighbourhoods.

We are grateful for the council’s continued support and remain committed to our shared dedication to invest in community spaces that help local families thrive.

Amy Willcox-Smith, our Assistant Director of Customers and Communities, captured this perfectly: “We are grateful to the council for their generous support through the Neighbourhood Grant programme. It’s a great example of how, by working together, we can create places that support families’ wellbeing and make our neighbourhoods even better for everyone.”

We look forward to seeing the community enjoy the improved space for many years to come.
