Work is continuing in a bid to complete the Jubilee Green play park which has closed just days after its opening ceremony.

Pouring rain on Wednesday did not stop contractors hurrying to finish the work at the lottery-funded park.

The heavy rain, though, had turned some of the area surrounding the park into a muddy quagmire.

Councillor Rob Jones said on Tuesday: “Due to the recent wet weather the contractor experienced delays during the building process and was unable to install all the equipment in time for the opening ceremony.”

He added that the town council hoped the park would be open once again by the weekend.
