144 Playbuilder Year 2 Sites PDF 5 MB
Minutes:
This report presented a list of nine sites for investment in Year 2 of the Playbuilder Programme.
It was noted that Cabinet had originally approved the Year 2 sites on 30 March 2010. However, following government announcements and then confirmation as to a revised funding allocation for Medway, the grant allocation had been reduced to £381,518. The proposed Year 2 sites for Playbuilder investment were set out in table 1 of the report. Appendix 1 to the report showed the geographical spread of the Playbuilder programme (Year 1 and 2) and other playground investment that had been made through the Big Lottery Fund Programme and the Member Priority Scheme.
A Diversity Impact Assessment (DIA) had been carried out on the proposals and the findings indicated that the Playbuilder programme did not need a full diversity impact assessment.
