What happens next?

The council will review the outcomes of the play consultation to see if there is any interest in changing the play facilities and if so what to. The outcomes will be reported to a meeting of the Council’s East Area Committee, when the proposal for funding the scheme is discussed. If funding is obtained, then the outcomes of the public consultation will be discussed with the play contractor, to see what changes it is possible to do within the budget that is available. The council will then agree the final plans with the play contractor, and the play contractor will be commissioned to carry out the work. The work is likely to take place in spring/summer 2025.

The council will publish the consultation findings on this page, and we will also let you know how we are acting on the results of the consultation under ‘We asked, You said, We did'.
