Basingstoke’s council is asking for the public’s views on plans to redevelop Popley Community Park and the surrounding area.

A new multi-use games area is proposed for the community park, and the open space at Tintern Close as part of the authority’s local improvements programme.

Plans will include removing the old tennis court and ball play area at Tintern Close, while the council is also asking people through an online questionnaire what they would like to see in the open space that will be created.

Residents will also be able to express what type of sports and activities in the games area would best serve the community in their opinion, and what they would like to be included in the project.

Cabinet member for communities and community safety, Cllr Simon Bound, said:

“The redevelopment of the park will enhance the area and benefit all residents who use it.

“I hope local people will respond to our online consultation and give their views on the future of this lovely open space and tell us what they would like to see provided.”

The two consultations are now available online until October 2, and can be completed at www.basingstoke.gov.uk/popley-play.
