A successful public meeting called to save a village's play facility has led to the setting up of a campaign committee.

Community councillor Donna O'Brien called the meeting after being involved in a clean-up of Ruabon's Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) and surrounding area, which had become strewn with glass and litter. 

The MUGA has been officially closed by the community council for a decade but the site is used on a daily basis and there are growing demands to see it refurbished or replaced.

Cllr O'Brien said: "We had a really positive discussion about the various options for the MUGA site to bring it back into use. 

"We're going to work with the community council, youth groups, schools, the football club and local businesses to see what's wanted, what's needed and what's possible to achieve. 

"We have also had some great ideas about funding a refurb or replacement MUGA and if anyone has any ideas or offers of help to make this happen, they're welcome to come on board.

"There was extensive consultation by Ruabon Community Council with adults and children in 2022 and I've asked for the results of that to be made public.

"The project group is planning to get quotes for refurbishing as well as potentially replacing the site with more modern equipment.

"I'm looking forward to working with everyone to make this happen."
