Several improvements are proposed for the Lower Horsebridge Recreation Ground, BN27 4DJ, and we are trying to gather views, opinions, and suggestions from residents. The improvements are expected to be funded through a number of external funding bodies. We would very much like to hear your views. There is a survey available for you to complete from 12th March until 5pm on 8th April 2024.

The planned improvements include:-

1. Installing new play equipment, including accessible play equipment.

2. Moving the current grass football pitch to the north of the site. There is also space for a smaller second pitch (for under-8s).
