A town's play park may be set for a new lease of life with "exciting" upgrade plans in the works.

Bungay Town Council has announced that the children’s play area at King’s Road Recreation Area will undergo renovations with a budget of £50,000. 

But first the authority is inviting contractors to come forward with proposals.

The council is looking for the park to be equipped for five- to eleven-year-olds, with "a range of modern, durable, and exciting play equipment".

Rosalind Barnett, Bungay town clerk, said: "It is expected that the project will be funded from a variety of external funding sources.

"Once the council has chosen three top designs, the community will have a chance to give feedback on the proposals before the final selection is made."

Designs are to be submitted by January 17 to Bungay Town Council.
