Brighton & Hove City Council Project Plan for Playbuilder Scheme
Decision Maker: Cabinet (pre 2012)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To seek approval for the council's proposed
plan for the delivery of the Playbuilder Scheme between April 2009
and April 2011
Decision:
1. That Cabinet approves the proposed 22 sites for Playbuilder investment.
2. That Cabinet approves the establishment of a Play Task Force (which is a pre-requisite for the funding).
Reasons for the decision:
The accelerated availability of Playbuilder funding has reduced the time-scales available to successfully deliver this project. The needs analysis has identified the sites which should be a priority for investment based on condition, play value, areas of deficiency and demographic information, subject to community engagement.
The recommendation to establish a Play Task Force will help coordinate the delivery of the project and integrate delivery of children’s play between council departments and with the wider community.
Alternative options considered:
The proposed sites have been identified based on a robust and transparent needs assessment. All alternative sites have been included in the assessment.
