Puddletown Playground, a vision for the future

Community Questionnaire 2013

We are pleased to announce that Puddletown Area Parish Council have given the official go ahead to start consultation with the community focussing on updating the recreation and play facilities in Puddletown.

This is a unique opportunity for everyone in Puddletown. Irrespective of age, ability or family status, our community will all eventually benefit from enhanced recreation and play facilities. Our aims are to provide a fun, exciting and healthy addition to our village.

In order to move forward and establish what's needed we would like to consult our community. We would be grateful if you could complete this short questionnaire to aid us making the right decisions.
