Notice Title

Refurbishment of Children's Play Area

Notice Description

Elsenham Parish Council This project seeks to refurbish and revitalise the existing children's play area on Elsenham Playing Field by the introduction of new pieces of play equipment, together with the laying of additional safety surfacing and pathways. To help achieve this, it is proposed that certain items of existing play equipment will be removed, as appropriate. The Council's objective is to create playable spaces that offer young people access to as wide a range of play opportunities as possible. The Council actively encourages the use of Play England's 'Design for Play' The overall aim of the project is to revitalise the Children's Play Area on Elsenham Playing Field by the introduction of new items of play activity that will complement and be added to the existing items of play, to provide an enhanced play experience for the children. The play area is required to meet the needs of children from toddler age to under 12 years. The existing play area is used by young children. New Play Elements The Council is keen to see the following types of new elements within the play area (subject to available space and Health and Safety guidelines): (i) Wheelchair-Inclusive Roundabout (ii) Basket Swing (iii) Scramble/climbing net/s (on the mound) (iv) Multi-Play (e.g. play-tower) (v) Imaginative Play (e.g. vehicle / ship / train / etc.) (vi) Wet pour safety surfaces with elements of colours (vii) Increased seating for adults The Council would like to see a site that is innovative and which encourages and enables physically active play, and which is attractive to children from toddler age through to under 12s. Play activities should be open-access, with children free to move independently between them. There is also a need for the overall design to be a welcoming and restful place for parents with younger children to meet and socialise. All play equipment should meet relevant safety manufacturing and installation standards and be easy and affordable to maintain. 2.6 Safer Surfacing The safety surfaces under the new and existing items of play equipment should all be connected through paths laid with a suitable sub-base in black Wet Pour, with elements of colour incorporated into the design, to be agreed. The paths should extend as far as both sides of the existing rocking horse, the base of the steps to the mound and all existing and new benches. 2.7 Installation The contractor shall supply and secure the play area, in accordance with H&S guidelines, for the duration of the work. All rubbish and excess spoil is to be removed from site by the contractor at the end of the construction works, to include reinstatement as agreed with the Buyer, to grass areas and existing surfaces. Apply - Tenders must be submitted by post to The Clerk, 'Reindeer', Stansted Road, Elsenham, Bishop's Stortford, Herts CM22 6LL.
