IMPROVEMENTS could be made to the play area at Le Marais flats, if plans lodged by Andium Homes are approved.

Potential new additions include whale- and seal-themed rockers, as well as a basket swing.

The affordable-housing provider hopes that the upgrade will be completed in time for summer, if planning permission is given.

As well as replacement play equipment, the improvements would include new tarmac and benches, and the installation of new safety flooring and a pedestrian safety barrier.

Andium said improving the play area formed part of an overall package of refurbishment works across Le Marais, including the recently completed refurbishment of the apartment buildings adjoining the site, and the installation of pergolas and bike stores.

The housing provider said in documents submitted as part of the planning application that discussions with residents in the area had highlighted a desire to improve the play area.

They also said that the existing play equipment, which is largely metal, would be recycled.
