Park Partnership Praised

A trio of organisations have helped transform a park in Redditch.

Overdale Park, in Astwood Bank, has received upgraded footpaths featuring a new oak bench and floral planter following a collaboration between Redditch Borough Council, Thorlux Lighting, and the National Lottery.

Cllr Juliet Barker Smith, Redditch Borough Council’s Portfolio Holder for Leisure, said: “It’s great to have been able to deliver this wider scheme of improvements in Overdale Park thanks to the partners’ contributions. On behalf of the council and the people who use this lovely park, it is most appreciated.”

The new bench and planter were made possible by the National Lottery, Thorlux Lighting and the borough council, while the paths were a planned council capital improvement.
