Youngesters in Donington had been celebrating further developments at the Flinders Founders Teen Park 10 years ago.

The recreational area in the village’s Town Dam Lane had been created by a group of motivated young people who wanted to improve where they lived.

To mark the final spending of a £4,414 grant from the Bicker Wind Farm Trust, the group held a celebration day.

The money paid for an extra bin, more seating, extra logs to complete the log circle for seating and biking, and more flower beds and plants
