Well, my assumption was that a decision had already been made for there to be a playpark on the lawn and given that, we were then only asked where we thought it should be. If there was still an option for no playpark at all on the lawn anywhere then there should have been a question explicitly asking: Do you want a playpark on the lawn? Yes or No? That could then have been followed up with: ...

My take on the matter is that the assumption being made is that if you voted "No" to all of the suggested locations, then that meant that you didn't want a play park on the lawn at all.

Point to Point at Black Forest will cease with immeadiate effect, should anyone require that info. The land has been sold and the new owners do not want point to point on their land.

Premier Inn are also building a 75 bedroom hotel in Seaton.
