A Chessington playground has been given a makeover just in time for summer.

Pear Tree Close play area has been spruced up with new picnic benches and some pear trees - so it can live up to its name.

They were donated by builders merchants Selco, whose Chessington branch is a little more than a mile away.

Jennie Fairweather, part of the community group overseeing the improvements, said she was "thrilled" with the donation.

She added: "Residents have led the way in looking for ways to improve the facility and it's fantastic that companies with local representation such as Selco are prepared to help.

"I'm sure the picnic benches will be well-used in the coming months, and it's also nice to finally have some pear trees."

Selco has been running its branch in Chessington for nearly two years.

Manager Mark Bootle said: "We’re always looking for ways to get involved with the communities in which we work, and this was a great way for us to do just that.

“The play area is not huge but its well-appreciated by the people who live in the streets nearby and we’re pleased to make it just that little bit more welcoming with this donation.”
