The facilities have been in situ for many years and, although well maintained, are dated by today's standards. An architect has designed a concept which utilises high fencing like ramparts, with equipment contained within the fenced areas. The initial design illustrated the concept of the design as being like a fort and showed play equipment within. The upper level could allow us to incorporate, for example, a slide, swing and climbing net attached to the structure. Activities for smaller children would be towards the middle of the palisade. We would welcome suggestions for any improvements and modifications to the design in order to achieve the best possible project. The fencing has received planning permission from Wealden District Council WD/2019/2359/F. During consultation on this application, some members of the public raised concerns about being able to see in or out of the play area so we would be happy to receive tenders containing modifications that had lower elements facing towards the recreation ground, and/or more open boarding to the fencing all the way round. We believe that the most appropriate form of surfacing would be wet pour or bonded mulch in a single, natural colour in order to fit with the natural environment. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) seeks submissions for the replacement as described above of: - Play area equipment - Fencing - Surfacing Contractors may quote for all or one or two elements.
