Proposed Play Area for the Environmental Park September 2015 Proposed Play Area for the Environmental Park Following representation from the public for a new central play area at the Annual Town Meeting in 2014, the Town Council has been negotiating with the Trustees of Knole to take over the management of part of the Environmental Park adjacent to the Leisure Centre. Knole Trustees have agreed to the Town Council having an area of the Environmental Park for a play area for a lease of 10 years on a peppercorn rent. The footpaths would remain a public right of way. The lease will commence on 1st October 2015. An initial working party will take place on 17 October 2015 to clear up the site. All volunteers would be welcomed and appreciated. The Town Council has sought quotations for the provision and installation of play areas to a budget of £100,000. The Town Council has committed to paying half of this and the rest needs to come from external grants and or fundraising. Local Businesses have started the fundraising by holding a raffle at the Annual Business Awards. The designs from the quotations were made available for public consultation during the complete month of July either at an exhibition at the Stag or the exhibition at Sencio or online. A considerable and diverse number of replies were received. The chosen scheme is from Sutcliffe Play and is shown on the photograph.
