A COUNCIL has agreed to help fund the upgrade and extension of a play area.

Caia Park Community Council agreed to pledge the cash towards the refurbishment of the Pentre Gwyn play area at its monthly meeting.

Whitegate ward Councillor Brian Cameron said: "I've met with Wrexham Council and they've agreed to help.

"We just need to get the costings and the design and apply for grant funding. The bid would be in the region of £40,000 and match funding from the community council would help."

Members agreed in principle to provide funding towards the project.
