The winning design for the new playground at Bentley Copse, Heatherside has been chosen.

After a public vote on a shortlist of five potential designs, the winner was the Wicksteed design.

The fantastic new play area will feature a multi-play unit, a rock and bowl roundabout, a viking swing unit with different swing types, play panels, a springer see-saw and new safety surfacing.

Two new benches will also be installed as part of the project.

Work on the new playground is due to start in the new year.

Surrey Heath Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Culture and Community, Cllr Rebecca Jennings-Evans said: "I'm pleased that local people have had the chance to choose the design they would like for the new playground. It looks like the new play area will be a lot of fun and I look forward to the work being completed so local children can enjoy using this improved facility."

This new playground has been funded through the Community Infrastructure Levy scheme.
