Radstock playground equipment upgrade and surface works

Description

Tom Huyton Park Radstock is a city spec play park in a Town Centre location. The Park is adjacent to the Greenway and cycling network and receives regular visits from many local families. Known as a destination park it caters for both toddlers through to older children, with the well-known Octi-play as the central piece of play equipment. The park was initially created in 1998 and much of the equipment although maintained is nearing end of life. The Town Council has been maintaining the park since the creation of Radstock Town Council in 2011 and currently reviewing a new lease with Bath & NE Somerset. A plan is required to upgrade the equipment and realise the cost implications of the park. Some of the equipment is repetitive and it would be good to include options for public consultation for any improvements to the area. This will be the second phase of upgrades to the park.
