A video about the plans for the proposed playpark at John O'Groats has been released in time for the public consultation on Saturday, December 4.

The project to create new recreational facilities is in memory of local woman Julie McGee and involves three phases.

Phase one is a £300,000-£325,000 seaside themed playpark, a £100,000 pump track and a £100,000 Multi Use Games Area (MUGA). The proposed site for the project is the existing playpark, next to the village football pitch.

The plans are being driven by a sub-committee of the John O'Groats Development Trust along with part time development trust officer Alistair Jack.

Mr Jack sated that the preparations for the public consultation were well in hand, adding: "We are inviting anyone interested to come along and they can visit throughout the day."

The consultation will take place in the John O'Groats Hall between 10am to 4pm.

A new JustGiving page has also been set up by the sub-committee to help raise £50,000 towards the funding.

More details can be found on the John O'Groats Development Trust Playpark Project Facebook page.
