Reading Borough Council has invited residents to have their say on designs for improvements to a playground.

The play area to be upgraded is on Kenavon Drive, east of Reading town centre. There are three plans from leading specialist companies to choose from.

The new playground will be resurfaced and have floor graphics. It will include a mix of equipment for children of all ages and abilities.

Cllr Karen Rowland, lead for culture, heritage and recreation, said that she hopes the site will be enjoyed by children for years come.

“The provision of high-quality equipment that is as accessible as possible is a key priority for us,” she said.

The £100,000 cost of the playground project will come from the developers of the new Kingsmead flats and houses.

Further funding will go towards riverside landscaping, with new trees, bulbs and a meadow planted.

It is hoped that this will improve the visual appeal and biodiversity of the area.

Ms Rowland said said feedback on this part of the works will also be welcomed.

“I encourage local residents to vote for their favourite designs as it is a really critical element of the process,” she explained.

The results from the consultation will form a significant part of the selection process of the winning design.

It runs until Thursday, December 16.
