We want to create a new community square at the heart of Friary Park. The aim of the new community square is to provide a space for group activities, space to relax outside and meet neighbours.

We want to create more places to sit outside at Friary Park. There are places where new furniture can be placed and four different uses for these have been identified.

• Likely to be used for a short time

• Spaces suitable for a range of activities
