A new state-of-the-art soft play venue has been opened in Hanley Market, Stoke-on-Trent, following a £50,000 contribution to its costs from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

The city council received £9.477m from the fund to deliver projects that will support local businesses, improve local spaces and assist residents in finding jobs.

The new facility will help boost footfall into the market and city centre, helping to lift the fortunes of market traders. It is part of the council’s Family Support Programme.
