Refurbished Spitfire ready for take off at Perdiswell play area in Worcester

A MUCH-loved Spitfire is ready for take off at Perdiswell play area after a refurbishment.

Worcester City Council’s minor works unit has completed a full refurb of the iconic Spitfire play equipment just in time for the school summer holidays.

Originally installed in 2017 at a cost of £30,000, the bespoke aircraft-themed structure has become a favourite with local families. And thanks to the council’s maintenance team, it’s now been restored to its original condition — looking as good as new.

Coun Jessie Jagger, mum and leader of the Liberal Democrat group, said: “The Spitfire is such a special feature at Perdiswell, and it’s lovely to see it looking brand new again. My daughter Lila is still a bit little for it, but I’m sure she’ll love watching the bigger kids play – and it won’t be long before she’s clambering on it too.”
