A CHILD'S bike has been presented for use by pupils at Accrington Road nursery school, Burnley, by the Marsden Building Society.

The cycle was handed over by Alison Armfield, customer services representative.

She said the Nelson-based Society had long established links with the local community and they were happy to offer help when a request was made by the nursery for financial support.

Fund-raising events at the school have paid for outdoor play facilities including a patio area and seats.
