A public consultation has been launched on plans for a former middle school's playing field. 

Needham Market Town Council purchased the lease for the land in School Street in 2023. 

The council wants to hear the views from people living in the town on how they would like the land to be used. 

A wide range of options are being considered with use of the land restricted to "outdoor recreational and ancillary purposes for the benefit of the local community".

"The council is committed to ensuring that any proposed developments remain within the confines of our lease agreement while addressing the needs and aspirations of our community," the consultation states. 

"Your input is critical to this process. We are keen to hear your thoughts on how this land can best serve our town, whether it be through new recreational facilities, community gardens, or other developments."

Residents can access the consultation through the Needham Market Town Council website. 

The last day for admissions is Monday, October 14.
