SWANMORE Parish Council has made some updates to the New Road playing field development.

The council is currently working on enhancing the facilities to include a running track and improvements to the skate park.

A more formal four-lane 100m sprint track has now been added, as well as an extension to the running track to make it 400m long.

However, the final design will be determined by the money available, and the council is working to offset some of the cost by applying for grants from organisations including Sport England and the Lottery.

The council has completed the tender process for the work and has now selected a preferred supplier.

The next stage, which is already underway, is to refine the design further and encourage public participation.

There will be an opportunity for residents to view the proposed design and provide feedback at the Annual Parish Assembly, as well as at the Parish Council office.
