A Norfolk town could get its first splash pad under new plans.

Breckland Council and Attleborough Town Council are working on designs for new equipment at the recreation ground. 

The initial proposals would see a splash pad, public toilets and storage unit installed at the park, next to Connaught Hall. 

These plans are still in the early stages but initial surveys of local opinion have found the vast majority of people to be in favour of the new facility. 

The councils will carry out a more comprehensive public consultation early next year in order to refine their existing designs.

A spokeswoman for Attleborough Town Council said: "The feedback provided will assist with further planning of the project to meet its needs and expected benefits.

"These potential benefits include fostering social interaction, encouraging physical activity and supporting imaginative play through interactive and sensory features."

The town does not have a public pool and some locals have suggested they would prefer to see such a facility introduced.

They currently have to travel to Wymondham or Thetford for a swim.
