The soft play area at Telford Ice Rink has recently been redecorated, giving it a bright new refresh ready for a busy half term week. The finished result looks fantastic.
It’s perfect for playtime adventures, so come and explore. The holiday timetable for soft play sessions in half term next week is available online.
We are continuing to support our residents who face significant increases to their gas and electricity bills from April, particularly those who are already struggling to deal with the rising cost of living.
Support measures include financial assistance through top-ups to existing energy grants and helping households to access information and advice on a range of energy efficiency measures.
We’ve invested £40,000 of capital funding over the winter months to support energy grant top-ups, and over the last 12 months we’ve won funding of over £2 million to deliver energy efficiency measures to those hardest hit in our borough by rising costs.
