Supply and install new fencing, gates and an asphalt surfaced "picnic area" complete with surfaced paths.

The Parish Council is seeking a suitably qualified company to design, supply and install new fencing to the frontage of the Council's property on Dovecote Road and around the adjacent children's play area including all access gates as required. The proposed works will also include an asphalt surfaced "picnic area" complete with surfaced paths leading from the pedestrian entrances.

The facility will be closed to allow for these works to be completed and we request that this is achieved outside of school holidays.

5.2. Supply and install throughout 1.4 metre high bow top fencing in polyester powder coated green RAL6005.

5.4. For the play area, supply and install asphalt surfaced paths to run from both pedestrian entrances to a central picnic/social area. This will involve creating an asphalt surface that runs beneath the tables and fills a central area. Concrete chamfered edging kerbs are required throughout.
