'Have Your Say on Park Lane' Consultation

Fareham Borough Council is considering making improvements to the leisure and recreational facilities at Park Lane Recreation Ground. The next consultation session will take place on Thursday 8 March at the children's play area, with the Fareham Borough Council Play Rangers. The session will run from 2pm-4pm.

Executive Member for Leisure and Community, Councillor Connie Hockley said:" I would encourage residents to come along to view design illustrations and to find out information on the proposals. Fareham Borough Council officers will be there on the day should local residents wish to discuss the vision further."

The improvements will include providing a new children's play area, expanding the current skate facility to increase capacity and to make it more accessible for a wider range of abilities, installing outdoor gym equipment and to provide a new all weather multi sports facility.

Residents are also invited to attend any consultation session on:

• Thursday 15 March in Fareham Leisure Centre from 5pm-7pm
• Saturday 7 April by the Park Lane Skate Park from 11am-2pm

Copies of the questionnaire have been sent to 400 households living close by to the park. However any local residents who have not received a copy and wish to complete a questionnaire about the proposed improvements, or are unable to attend the consultation sessions, can request a copy of the questionnaire to be sent to them.
