Linda Turner, chair of South Cave Parish Council, said: “We are extremely grateful for the funding awarded by East Riding of Yorkshire Council for the installation of additional play equipment to enhance King George V Playing Field.

“The playing field is currently home to a well received Urban Gym and Pirate Ship; the installation of the play equipment will enhance the equipment already in place, promoting outdoor play and exercise.

“We would like to thank ERYC for this award.”

Councillor David Tucker, East Riding of Yorkshire Council portfolio holder for planning, infrastructure, and housing, said: “This award of Commuted Sums provided by local housing developments as a condition of their planning approval is great news for South Cave, and has clearly facilitated major improvements on the Playing Field.”
