Existing Equipment and Surfacing

The play area is adjacent to the Butler's Farm. Cllr. Ben Butler has offered to remove and dispose of the existing equipment and surfacing

Facilities

Additional Information

The play area is situated on a sizeable piece of land. In addition to the equipment listed, Avebury Parish Council own two goal posts that will be installed . The positioning of the new equipment will need to take this into consideration.

Funding

The Avebury Parish is small, circa 582, therefore our annual precept in relation to the cost of play area equipment is limited. To renovate the space, we are looking for a payment plan option to spread the cost over five years.
