THE WROXALL community has rallied round to save the village's play area.

The future of the under-tens' playground was in doubt because volunteers were needed to provide safety checks and clear litter from the site in St Martin's Road.

The work had previously been undertaken by residents' group Wroxall in Action but that has been suffering from a dwindling membership

But a public meeting on Monday was well-supported and a new committee should be established at the group's annual meeting on June 16.
