Winter fun in the park

2:04pm Thursday 8th February 2007 in Local By Bev Holder

SCHOOLKIDS across Stourbridge enjoyed fun in the park on Thursday February 8 after the town was transformed into a winter wonderland overnight.

Youngsters, given the day off school due to the wintry conditions, grabbed their sledges and hit the slopes in Mary Stevens Park.

In contrast to the picturesque picture in the Norton park, the main roads around the town were unaffected.

But with side streets still covered, increased emergency services call-outs and temperatures likely to fall below freezing later on, members of the public are still being urged to take care.
