Decision details

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.
