Hampton play area in Herne Bay will be closed while the work takes place

Work has started on a £123,000 investment in a children's play area by the sea in Kent.

The upgrade of the Hampton play area in Herne Bay will keep some pieces of equipment and add new ones, according to Canterbury City Council.

The authority said the basketball area would also be relined and that the site would be closed while work took place.

Weather permitting, it is hoped the project will take about four weeks to complete, and the site should reopen in time for half term at the end of May.
