The work will include new trails and a play area, path improvements and visitor centre enhancement.

Money from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and car parking fees will contribute to the pot, Staffordshire County Council confirmed.

Lichfield District Council will also stump up to support work at Chasewater County Park.

Cllr Victoria Wilson, Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet member for communities and culture, said:

> “People will see a real difference at their country parks and I’m delighted councils have worked together successfully to attract EU funding to improve facilities there.  
>  
> “We’ve talked to users about the shape and form of new play areas being installed at Cannock Chase and Chasewater and I think families will be very pleased with the results.”  
>  
> Cllr Victoria Wilson, Staffordshire County Council

Lichfield District Council’s input of £44,000 from contributions by housebuilders to offset the effects of more people using community facilities will contribute to a new all-weather shelter and play area at Chasewater.

It will also support the installation of an outdoor gym, footpath and watercourse improvements and tree planting, as well as shrub planting and other improvements around the old boating pool.

Cllr Iain Eadie, Lichfield District Council’s cabinet member visitor economy, said:

> “I am sure Burntwood residents and the many visitors to Chasewater Country Park will be thrilled to hear the news about the new play area and community facilities.  
>  
> “We are all looking forward to seeing the works get underway and know the improvements will encourage even more people to visit.”
