Investment approved for Warminster playgrounds

Warminster Town Council has approved funding for new play park equipment in the town. Council officers carried out a detailed review of all play areas and highlighted the need to replace a play area gate and climber at a playground in the town’s Queensway and replace a tyre swing in the Lake Pleasure Grounds. Officers explored ideas and gathered quotes for the upcoming play area project, receiving interest from four specialist companies.

Site meetings took place in October 2024, with three companies submitting formal proposals. Following discussion at the Parks and Estate Committee meeting on Monday 27th January, members approved the tender application from Kompan with the capital expenditure of £34,302 to be funded from the Earmarked Reserves Capital Projects. Kompan will now install a new under 5s climber and play area gate for Queensway and a Spacenet climber for the Lake Pleasure Grounds.
