How to win: Design, supply and installation of a play area at Mulberry Green, Poringland

About this contract

Poringland Parish Council is keen to provide a play area which can be enjoyed for many years to come. It must cater for a broad range of children, from 5 to 15 years old. It must also cater, in some way, for children with a range of disabilities. The new play equipment will replace all existing items and combine the two fenced areas into a single contiguous space. The area should provide an attractive and calming setting and should sit well in the landscape.
