  Surveyors will be at Victoria Park during the first couple of weeks of September to carry out the site assessment for the Ground Investigation survey. This will involve drilling in locations agreed with the design team engineers.

  
  

  Mid Sussex District Council are working with a member of the Association of Geotechnical & Geoenvironmental Specialists. They will use a track mounted hydraulic drilling rig to drill exploratory holes which can then be used for testing. They will fence off the area whilst they are working and backfill the holes once they are finished.

  
  

  A Ground Investigation survey seeks to establish the soil and rock profile. The data they collect will form part of a report used by the design team engineers when designing drainage features or foundation details.

  The survey that was seeking views on how you want us to improve the play area in Victoria Park closed at midnight on 1^st March. We had a total of 60 responses, thank you to those people who shared their experiences of, and ideas for, the play area.

  All the responses have been sent to our Landscape Architects to consider whilst developing the designs for the play area.

  The developed plans will be presented back to the public with a further opportunity to comment in a few months’ time. Make sure you subscribe and follow the project to be notified when the plans are ready.

  MSDC Officers were in the busy, sunny playground on Wednesday 15^th February to publicise the launch of the playground consultation. Officers spoke to visitors about how they can share their views and ideas for the play area improvements by filling in the online survey. The survey is open until March 1^st.

  
  

  All the feedback collected will be used to help develop the designs for the play area to create somewhere that local families really want to visit. The plans will be presented back with a further opportunity to comment in a few months’ time.

  
  

  MSDC Officers also spoke to residents about their concerns about the wider park regarding such issues as litter and anti-social behaviour. These concerns have been fed to the relevant teams to handle outside of the park improvement project.
