EXTRA funding will be supplied to complete a children's play area in Bolton, near Appleby.

During excavations of an area behind the Memorial Hall, a high-voltage power cable was uncovered and the approach became flooded in recent wet weather and needs surfacing.

Bolton parish council received £9,200 from Eden District Council but applied for £3,300 extra assistance under the Time Parishes Project.

EDC's works and leisure committee awarded an additional £1,659.
