Riding Dene play area in Mickley has been shortlisted to bag funding from a supermarket scheme.

Tesco has teamed up with environmental charity Groundwork to offer grants from its 5p bag charge.

Three environmental and green space projects in each of Tesco’s 416 regions have been shortlisted to receive funding. One is the Mickley play area.

Customers will be able to vote for the project of their choice using a token given to them at the checkout each time they shop.

The project with the most votes will receive £12,000, with the runner-up schemes receiving £10,000 and £8,000 respectively.

Voting will open on October 31 and run until November 13.
