The Alfred Road Public Consultation Survey is now Open until Sunday 18th February

The goal of this project is 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. 

As always your views matter. 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. 

In the meantime please take the survey.
