Many residents will already have had a chance to enjoy the new playground equipment at Harpers Recreation Ground. The new equipment was chosen by residents following an online consultation, launched by Cllr John Tonks from Ash Parish Council (APC). The consultation offered three designs with a view to installing new equipment with higher play value. The majority of residents chose Design A which is now open for children to enjoy.
The cost of the upgrade was met by APC reserves for renewal and maintenance, in addition to funding from GBC via the concurrent function grant scheme.
