New playground survey
Spelthorne Borough Council is exploring plans to install a children’s playground in Memorial Gardens in Staines-upon-Thames, on the site previously occupied by the Five Swimmers sculpture.
To ensure the project reflects community needs, the Council is inviting feedback from residents and visitors through an online survey.
Cllr Malcolm Beecher, Chair of Spelthorne Borough Council’s Environment and Sustainability Committee, said: “We want Memorial Gardens to remain a welcoming space for everyone. A playground could provide families with a safe and enjoyable environment, but your views are essential in shaping this proposal.”
The survey is open from 1 December 2025 to 11 January 2026.
