We are delighted this is now going ahead and is a welcome addition to the many other facilities that the town council provides for the people of Diss.'

It was hoped that new paths across the park and through the new play areas would be installed at the same time.
Funding for these will now be achieved through the wider park regeneration project which is continuing to be progressed.
Landscape architects are working on a scheme that will soon be available for public consultation, before funding is sought.
