Children in two towns will benefit from £220,000-worth of improvements to play areas.

Council and Lottery grants go to Carterton's Kilkenny Lane Country Park, which will include a garden for children with sensory impairments, and natural landscape features such as mounds and tunnels as well as play equipment, and Chipping Norton recreation ground, which will get a new multi-games area and viewing shelter as well as better safety surfacing on the existing play area.

Work is expected to begin by December.
