A 'fantastic' multi-use games area has been officially unveiled.

Tillingham youngsters are already making good use of their new sports facility on the south west corner of West Field, in Vicarage Lane, following a ribbon cutting.

Tillingham Parish Council was given a £33,351 grant from Essex County Council’s Community Initiatives Fund, £1,000 from Magnox Socio Economic Fund and £3,966 from Bradwell Wind Farm.

Parish council clerk Sheila Welham said: “This new facility allows all users of the West Field an opportunity to participate in an activity and it is a fantastic asset to the village.”
