Kilkenny County Council has approved plans to build a new playground in a Kilkenny village.
It gave the green light to the Freshford Playground group to construct a new playground, public amenity space, access road, parking, fencing, lighting and landscaping around the new facility.
It also granted the group permission to remove an existing shed and all associated works at the site.
Last March the council awarded the group funding of €125,000 to progress the community project.
