Playbuilder

Minutes:

Playbuilder projects in Year 1 of the government initiative to improve play areas had been completed involving twelve sites in Bracknell Forest. Sandhurst Memorial Park was near to completion and Sandhurst Town Council had contributed some funding for this site. A ribbon cutting ceremony had been held at Ascot Recreation Ground in June.

 

The first of the Year 2 sites, Locks Ride, now had a water spray park, and other conventional play equipment would also be installed later in the year. In July 2010, non-contractually committed schemes began to be cut. Contracts were individually considered in case of a penalty for withdrawing from contracts. The second year of the Playbuilder Scheme would involve a reduced package of improvements to sites due to funding being cut.
