CHILDREN in Corston who have been waiting for more than two years to play basketball at the playground in Rodbourne Road, will finally have their patience rewarded during the summer holidays.
North Wiltshire District Council allocated £10,000 in 1997 to surface the playground, and equip it for rollerblading, skateboarding, football and basketball.
The equipment was finally installed last year, but it was then discovered the basketball nets could not be used because of overhanging electric wires.
Council spokesman, Tracy Charters said permission had now been obtained from the Southern Electric to route the cables underground.
She said: We should be starting the work anytime now.
