Six-year wait for Montrose play area

A new £140,000 children’s play area is being built in Green Park, Montrose, after a six-year wait.

It was part of the original Mid Links regeneration plan that had to be shelved until funding was available.

Tenders for the whole regeneration project were so over budget when the plans were first submitted six years ago that the playpark was one of the features dropped from the specification to help bring down costs.

The plans have been dusted down by Councillor Mark Salmond.

Funding was secured by using Montrose’s share of the parks and recreation department’s repairs and renewals fund spread over two years.

Mr Salmond said, “The play area in Green Park was an important part of the regeneration project and I am delighted it is now coming to fruition.

“It is a significant investment in facilities for youngsters.”

He added, “The equipment is being set around the memorial butterfly bench which was installed last summer in memory of Adana Forsyth, who died after a brave battle against illness and which is the centre-piece of the park.

“I think it all ties in very well.”

Mr Salmond said that the playpark was close to two of the town’s hotels and three of its nurseries.

He said, “The playpark will benefit local youngsters and will have the added advantage of being attractive to young visitors to Montrose.”
