Pupils to spruce up playground

Errol Primary School pupils were jumping for joy after being given £5,000 to revamp their playground.

The school was one of seven projects within Perth and Kinross given up to £11,000 in total through the Aviva Community Fund.

The parent council applied for the grant to help with the regeneration of the playground which they say pupils described as “boring” and “no fun”.

The children want to bring the area to life with buddy benches, playground markings and wooden decking.
