A fund set up by parents and teachers at a Bow primary school has raised almost £10,000 to turn a section of the road located outside the school into an extra playground.
The playground would be placed outside Chisenhale Primary School between the Chisenhale Road and Vivian Road junction and would allow longer playtime and PE lessons.
The school is in the process of securing permission from Tower Hamlets Council, which has partially funded the scheme. It is also in the process of developing an arts programme with local organisations, as well as finalising detailed designs for the flexible community space, which includes plans for site security.
