Background:
This report presented the 11 sites for investment in Year 2 of the Playbuilder programme, funded by a grant of £597,789 from the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
The criteria for the grant set out that the play areas would focus on 8-13 year olds, ensuring sites were attractive to ethnic minorities, girls and provide better disabled access. The criteria also followed Play England design guidance based on natural play.
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 in this area.
It was noted that the Procurement Board had considered this report on 17 February 2010 and had supported the recommendation as set out.
