East Suffolk Council
Have your say on East Suffolk play areas
Following the creation of the Play Strategy 2023 – 2027, an in-depth study of current play provision that provided a series of recommendations and identified play areas which could be upgraded and redeveloped to provide modern, high-quality play equipment for local families to enjoy. The strategy also identifies a small number of areas which are no longer suitable for modern play equipment and as there are other more suitable play areas nearby, the recommendation is that these more limited play spaces are removed. If this should happen, the areas will revert to open space and the local community will be consulted about any future use
For 2024/25 East Suffolk would like to find out the views of the communities in Beccles, Felixstowe, Framlingham, Kesgrave, Trimley St Mary and Wrentham around the play provision but also around the recommendation for removal including Townlands, Field View Gardens, Glebe View and George Brown Way in Beccles, as well as Nock Gardens in Kesgrave.
If you can spare some time to complete it on behalf of the young people in your family unit and or as a potential user of the site, we would be very grateful. Your views will then form the documents that will go out to play companies to get designs, following the return of the designs we will consult the community again to hear their thoughts on the designs:

Please take a look at the play area consultation presentation to get ideas of some of the different types of play experiences are available from the different play companies.
