HARROWBARROW and Metherell's new playpark will be managed by Calstock Parish Council, which will be responsible for its maintenance, safety and upkeep.

The playpark committee, which has worked for more than ten years to see the park come to fruition, is happy now the project is complete to place it under the auspices of the parish council, which looks after other parks in Calstock.

The woodland park and play area received £50,000 of lottery cash after it was voted for by the public in the People's Million TV programme. Another £40,000 was raised by the community to provide the only off-road playpark in the village.
