Hide AdPaul Frew DUP MLA stated: “There has been a need for facilities for children in the hamlet since I was young growing up close by.
“Land availability is a massive issue and continues to be so, but we hope something can be found.
Cllr William McCaughey agreed: “When I first started representing the people of Woodgreen this was the first issue on people’s minds.
“It has been a burning issue for so long.”
Cllr Beth Adger also added that the amount of young families in the area warranted the facilities.
She said: “I know most of the families in the area and the number of young people that have grown up and now have families of their own, means there is a demand for these play facilities. “
