Description

Fair Oak & Horton Heath Parish Council is seeking to commission a partner to develop a comprehensive Play Strategy that will guide future play provision within the Parish. As a growing community undergoing continued development, the Parish Council requires a strategy that is evidence-based, forward-looking, and reflects the aspirations of residents while prioritising sustainability and longevity. The strategy will serve as a key tool for the Parish Council to advocate for appropriate play provision with the Borough Council, especially when negotiating Section 106 agreements.

The strategy should provide a framework for future play provision, highlight design principles, identify existing assets and potential improvements (including a recently decommissioned play area at Upper Barn Copse), and demonstrate the Council's approach to transparency and resident engagement.

It should emphasize intergenerational play, free play, nature-based activities, and inclusive play opportunities for all ages, genders, and abilities. Please see project brief for further details.

How to Apply: Proposals should be submitted by 9 December 2025 at 9.00am by emailing Melanie Stephens at clerk@fairoak-pc.gov.uk
