Youngsters in Mansfield Woodhouse are being urged to have their say on plans for a youth shelter at Yeoman Hill Park.

Friends Of Yeoman Hill Park have been awarded a Supporting Local Community Grant by Nottinghamshire County Council for the shelter.

It will have bluetooth technology to allow music to be played through mobile phones and other devices.

Pupils from Manor Academy have given ideas about the location for the shelter and potential names.

Corinna Brown, vice-chairman of the friends group, said: “We are excited to have been awarded this grant. Such a large amount of money comes with a responsibility to make sure a project is delivered in the best possible way.

“That is why we are working with Manor Academy to ensure we have the views of local young people. We want to build on this by asking all local young people to tell us their views. We hope this will mean they look after and respect the shelter once it is installed.”

The friends group has prepared questions to allow young people to give their views on potential features for the shelter, its site and name.
