A questionnaire is now open to decide how the borough council should spend some £15,000 of funding to install new hardware at the Rectory Farm playground, off Great Billing Way.

There is space for a wheelchair-accessible roundabout and one of four other choices, including a zig-zag spinner, a standing see-saw or a two-man "buddy board".

"We are keen to have a much input as possible and I would urge local residents to fill in the online survey which is open until March 5."
