Search the Public Notice PortalThe final phase of a major play area improvement project is about to begin.
Chichester District Council announced that work will start on Monday, November 10, at the Amphitheatre play area in Chichester, marking the last stage of its £800,000 scheme to upgrade five play areas across the city.
Improvements have already been completed at Whyke Oval, Priory Park and Oaklands Park, with the council returning to these sites in November to carry out final enhancements.
Councillor Mark Chilton, Cabinet Member for Finance, Corporate Services and Chichester Contract Services at Chichester District Council, said: "We’re delighted to be entering the final stage of this exciting project, which is transforming our play areas across the city.
"It’s fantastic to see the new and improved facilities at Parklands, Florence Park, Whyke Oval, Priory Park, and Oaklands Park being enjoyed by so many people, and I’d like to thank everyone who has shared their thoughts and feedback so far — your comments have been greatly appreciated by everyone involved in making this project a reality.
"Having secured consent from Historic England, we can now begin refurbishing the Amphitheatre play area."

The Amphitheatre site will be closed for around three weeks while work is carried out.
The council will also return to Oaklands Park, Priory Park and Whyke Oval to install additional seating and new planting schemes.
Oaklands Park, which has been described as a 'destination play area,' will soon feature a CocoWave group rope swing and two more picnic benches.
Mr Chilton said: "As we near the end of this important project, I’d like to thank all of the people that use our play areas and who shared their ideas for improvements.
"And, of course, this project couldn’t have become a reality without the hard work of our Parks and Gardens team, who have done a wonderful job.
"We are also hugely grateful to the local organisations and partners who helped deliver this project, including Chichester City Council for their support and additional investment in the Oaklands Park project."
Work will take place Monday to Friday, with play areas remaining open at weekends.
