New inclusive swings have been installed at North Lodge Park in Cromer.

The mayor of Cromer, Pat West, officially opened the play equipment on October 30.

This was part of the annual pumpkin-carving event held in the park.

The new swings were funded by the Friends of North Lodge Park (FoNLP).

They raised money by operating the park cafe.

Additional contributions came from Valerie and Nigel McCampling, who raise funds for FoNLP through plant sales at their allotment.

The swings add to the play area originally funded by FoNLP in 2020.

The area is maintained by North Norfolk District Council.

Valerie McCampling, a trustee of FoNLP, said: “It's lovely to see the swings added to the area especially as there is an inclusive swing so everyone can enjoy a swing.

"I hope that they will be well used.”
