Jubilee Recreation Ground

The Parish Council is looking at ways to improve The Pit for teenagers and young people. As a lot of the play equipment suitable for younger children has been moved to Bull Green, what would you like to see in its place?

At this stage, we are just looking for ideas, as everything would need to be costed and funded, but tell us what you would like to see so we can start looking at options.

Please email clerk@greattothamparishcouncil.uk with your ideas
