Winning design for St Aldams upgrade

As the community will know, some of the remaining play equipment at St Aldams is now beyond economic repair. The council has exciting plans to rejuvinate this area with its redesign for an active play area project. The overall budget for this project is £60,000.00 and the intention is to improve facilities for girls and older children.

The council is pleased to announce that following the tender process it has selected Proludic as its preferred supplier for this project. However with limited reserves, this project will be dependent on obtaining grant funding amounting to £40,000.00. If successful it is hoped the project will commence in spring 2025.

Below is the exciting design for St Aldams.
