Play Time

Over the next few years, Tandridge District Council wants to improve children's playgrounds, but first it wants to find out how residents would like to see the playgrounds develop.

Every year RoSPA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) assesses the Council’s playgrounds to identify any worn or dangerous equipment, parts and play surfaces. A recent report shows as many as 75 individual pieces of equipment may need replacing within the next few years. So now is a good time to shape the future of playgrounds. I'd be especially keen to hear from Oxted South residents about what they think about the playgrounds in Hurst Green.

Until 31 May the Council is carrying out a survey to get people’s views and to find out what sort of equipment they really want to use. For a copy of the questionnaire please e-mail play@tandridge.gov.uk, or fill it in online at www.tandridge.gov.uk/consultation.
