CHILDREN and families in Pucklechurch have a chance to shape the provision of new play equipment at St Aldam’s Drive.
The parish council has secured a grant from Suez Community Fund towards the much-needed revamp of the play area, where most of the wooden structures installed in 2011 perished and had to be removed.
Now it is inviting residents to view the designs proposed by contractor Proludic for replacement play equipment and an obstacle trail aimed at children of primary school age and above.
The council is especially keen that the provision is appealing to girls.
Parish clerk Daphne Dunning said: “We are grateful to Suez Community Fund for the £40,000 grant that, with our playground reserves, means this project can go ahead.
“Before we place the order, we want to hear from our younger community members to ensure the design provides them with a space to socialise, have fun and be active.
“Please come along and help inform the final design.”
The plans will be on show at Pucklechurch Community Centre from 10am-noon on Saturday March 1.
