It's all play for Braithwaite and Guard House children following the completion of the first phase of improvements.

New goalposts have been erected on the field next to the Whinfield Community Centre on Braithwaite Avenue.

Braithwaite People's Association is delighted they were fitted less than a month after it asked Bradford council to replace broken posts.

Chairman Mick Westerman is now looking forward to work starting on a multi-use games area next to the soccer pitch.

The Keighley News last week revealed details of the games area, as well as planned improvements to a children's play area on nearby North Dean Road.

Mr Westerman says the playground is due to provided with a special rubber safety surface.

The goalposts were funded through the council's recreation budget and the games area and improvements will be jointly funded by the council and Single Regeneration Budget.
