The Silver Jubilee Meadow Play Area in Crowborough is to get a £55,000 makeover.
Crowborough Town Council is looking for quotes for the refurbishment of its playground at Silver Jubilee Meadow between Green Lane and Palesgate Lane.
The council manages and maintains five playground sites across Crowborough. At the Silver Jubilee Meadow, there is a large open meadow for residents to enjoy as part of The Ghyll woodland.
The site is well used by residents, and the playground is used daily but the council says “The condition of the playground has slowly deteriorated, and it is now in need of refurbishment.”
It is inviting contractors to tender for the work which includes providing a playground which must be fully wheelchair accessible and appropriate for children aged 1–12. All equipment must include features designed to support children with special educational needs (SEN), including autism.
The council is telling would-be contractors the equipment and surfaces need to be low maintenance and the work, which is scheduled for September and October, must be within the £55,000 budget.
