Following the Scrutiny Review of Outdoor Play Provision, in April of 2024, the Crime and Disorder Select Committee (now renamed) recommended that officers should prepare a strategy (later approved by Cabinet) which includes the following elements:
• The Council’s aims in relation to the provision of outdoor play spaces.
• The locations and assessments of existing and outdoor play provision, as well as any planned developments.
• The key challenges associated with providing these spaces.
• How the Council will seek to address these key challenges (including guiding principles).
This document is the first of a series of appearances to Cabinet designed to:
• Agree the principles associated with the ongoing management of our portfolio of play facilities
• To then take additional papers for Cabinet to agree the implementation of the strategy principles.
