A park in a village just outside the city is set to receive a much-needed upgrade. 

Work to improve Jubilee Park in Rackheath will begin on Monday when the surface will be repaired and some of the existing play equipment will replaced or refurbished. 

A new toddler multi-unit and cableway are currently being made off-site and will be installed in due course, according to Rackheath Community Council which is overseeing the £120,000 project.

A spokeswoman said: "We thank you in advance for your cooperation while the work is undertaken.

"It is being paid for by developer contributions ring-fenced to provide off-site play areas and investing in the lifespan and longevity of the recreational spaces managed by Rackheath Community Council."

It comes just weeks after nearby Stracey Park received a facelift, seeing all new climbing frames, slides and exercise apparatus installed. 

Both parks are managed by the council but developers such as Norfolk Homes and Taylor Wimpey fund these projects in order to build more homes in the area.
