Appleford Drive - basketball court wall rendering

Clean and Green funding was used to help bring the old, derelict basketball court on Appleford Drive back into use. The work included:

• Cutting back vegetation around the perimeter
• Sanding down and repainting the existing basketball frames (which had large sections of peeling paint and rust)
• Rendering the old, decaying wall

This was part of the Improving Play initiative.
