Ok…
I mean it definitely should be done but Labour has been bitching about how they are going to have to put off or cut a lot of things that seem more important or raise taxes and yet this gets through?
So a confused thumbs up from me.
She’s going to struggle holding on to the position anyway so may as well take one for the kids…..at this points it’s all just swings and roundabouts anyway.
The local (Leeds) council has been trying to upgrade one of the delapidated parks in a nearby suburb. Because the council is hot on trying to remedy health inequalities, they’ve been trying to put other services nearby
The amount of pushback they’ve had from local residents is insane..the council is trying to make things better but local residents seem against every idea.
Well kids need something to break and spray paint. All the old stuff’s been removed or done already (underpass walls etc)
I recently went through Greece and was shocked to see how better playgrounds were. Both in quality and number.
She should get rid of the triple lock – then people might have some kids to play on them.
Proper big swings and slides? Or soft things, for soft children?
200 is such an insignificant number it’s hard to see what the point is unless it’s continued each year.
It doesn’t even cover what’s apparently closed.
There’s 7.5m children under 12 in the UK so 200 new playgrounds means 37,500 children per playground.
To be fair with those numbers you’d get a killer game of 40-40 going, though deciding who is “it” might take a while.
My local parish council tried putting up a temporary cafe building and upgrading the attached play park. Amongst the objections from the public were:
“would result in increased dog thefts”
“Increase in dog bites”
“Loss of animal habitat” (this is a totally flat corner of a grass play field)
“Increased traffic due to park attendees”
“Noise”
It was exhausting and eventually the council just gave up trying. Now we have a dilapidated play area and patch of open grass.
I was just thinking to myself today, how run down all the playgrounds are in town. Small wins like this can make a big difference.
