Improvements to Impey Close Play Area and Open Space
Braunstone Town Council has now approved proposals for improvement work to Impey Close playground and surrounding open space at Thorpe Astley. The Town Council intends to update and replace existing play equipment and safety surfaces. This playground is the largest in Thorpe Astley but is now lacking play equipment for all ages.
The approved project includes:
- Keeping the current Slide/Climbing Frame
- Install new swings
- Installation of additional new play equipment suitable for toddlers and primary school age children
- Installation of new Vehicular Access Gate
- Replacement of existing Wet Pour Safety Surfaces and replace with Rubber Bonded Mulch
- Retain existing benches and bin
- Retain existing bow top fencing around the play equipment
- Install play equipment for older children around the fenced off play area to cater for all age groups.
- Addition of new swing suitable for younger/disabled children
The above have all been included in the Town Council’s 2024/2025 Capital Plan
A consultation was undertaken with residents in 2023 and suggestions from residents has been incorporated in the proposals.
