FAMILIES will be able to enjoy new picnic tables alongside a playing field.

They were installed outside the Black Bull pub in Lindley.

Kirklees councillor Christine Stanfield welcomed the move.

The Lindley Lib Dem councillor said: “The field is used in winter for junior football and these tables will give both organisers and children somewhere to put their clothing and drinks when the ground is wet.”

The tables were made from recyclable materials by Halifax-based Intruplus.

Clr Stanfield said: “What could be better than a completely re-cycled product which can be used by all ages in this lovely corner of Lindley? I am sure they will be well-used.”
