CHILDREN from the Wallops spent some of the Easter holidays giving their playground a new look to prove to councillors' they can look after their play equipment.
Along with Sargent Ian Ashbolt and beat officer Sally Osmond, more than 15 children turned out to paint over years of graffiti on the play equipment at the park in Evans Close, Over Wallop.
The children hope if they can show Over Wallop councillors they can look after their existing playground they will get a skatepark.
Sgt Ashbolt explained that Over Wallop Parish Council does not want to pay out money for a skatepark when they can see what has happened to the playground.
Sgt Ashbolt added: "This gets the kids interested in looking after what they have in their backyard, then we can move on from there. This brings the community together. The kids are not always a nuisance; this is very positive."
