Surlingham Parish Council conducted a public consultation in April 2026 to gather views on the condition and future development of Surlingham Play Area. The consultation was promoted through multiple village channels and received responses from 21 households, plus two child friendly questionnaires via Surlingham School. Although participation was modest, the feedback provides clear and consistent direction for refurbishment priorities. The findings highlight concerns around safety, accessibility, equipment suitability, and the overall quality of the play environment.
