RESIDENTS of a Furness village could soon be enjoying a new £130,000 play area featuring modern play equipment and landscaping.
It is hoped the new development can be built on a section of land at the Community Field at Sandy Lane, Askam, provided planning permission can be obtained.
Askam and Ireleth Parish Council has submitted its plans to Barrow Borough Council and the project is being managed by the villages' Regeneration Partnership.
Askam and Ireleth Parish Council clerk, Jenny Donnelly said: "We hope the whole of Askam and Ireleth will see the benefits of it.
There are a lot of children in the village and a lot of other people who could get pleasure from it."
