The Alfred Road Inclusive Playground Public Consultation is Still Open – Please Take the Survey

The Alfred Road Public Consultation is Still Open - Please Take the Survey

The goal of this project is to renovate the space to improve safety and install a more inclusive design with systems and components that will allow children from all walks of life with varying abilities to play together in a rich and engaging way. No child should be left out. 

We see this project as a co-design and want to know what you think will improve the playground for maximum usage of an outdoor space whilst providing an inclusive and accessible play area. 

You still have some time to share your thoughts with us. Please take the survey.
