00:00Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.

00:03Derbyshire residents are still waiting for action on a play area they describe as rotten and rusting,

00:09years after nearly £100,000 was promised for improvements.

00:13Villages in South Wingfield have been campaigning for action on the High Road Player area,

00:18which has not been upgraded since it was installed in 1997.

00:23Amber Valley Borough Council, which owns the play area,

00:25says it has been waiting for payments, known as Section 106 funding,

00:30owed by developers behind two neighbouring housing developments in order to maximise improvements on the site,

00:36which they claim still has years left of viable use.

00:39An online petition started by residents last year calling for action on the play area has now gathered more than 900 signatures.

00:49A Chesterfield primary school has opened a brand new garden area,

00:53which features four planters depicting the different seasons.

00:56Walt and Holymooreside Primary School unveiled the garden centre yesterday.

01:01The mini garden, which was designed by the school's pupils,

01:04includes four planters each representing a different season.

01:08Plants were donated by Dobby's Garden Centre and the Parish Council,

01:11with children from the school's gardening club working hard to make sure the garden looked impeccable for the opening ceremony.

01:18Ian Holmes, who is head teacher at Holymooreside Primary School, said,

01:21It was a really lovely event.

01:24It was great to be able to thank and recognise all the various generous contributions from local people,

01:29Dobby's Garden Centre and the council.

01:32It's a real example of the community coming together to turn a drab space into something that children can enjoy.

01:38Absolutely!

01:38Do you know that the father of Yolko do you need to be disabled?

01:39Right?

01:40So I will ask for some questions from Sardana Centre and theéd vape,

01:41well, that's a real конт Gilbert and the other one.

01:42So, you should go to Eolko.

01:42How do you know that?

01:43Also we'll give some teachers to ask those different questions.
