**
Playbuilder funding for the 8-13 yr olds was augmented by ward-based
Planning Obligations to pay for improvements for the under 8's age group
at these play areas.
***
Year 2 Playbuilder projects affected by the reduced budget; no
improvements at these play areas.
Selection criteria:
Playbuilder selection criteria were
agreed with Play England and sites that would not qualify include:
-
play areas that are new, newly
refurbished or undergoing refurbishment (11 sites)
-
play areas on land that is not
owned by the Borough of Poole
-
play areas that are unsuitable for
improvement for the age group specified in the funding agreement (8-13
yrs).
Also taken into account during the
selection process was:
-
Poole's Social
Deprivation Index and Local Areas of Need
-
the availability of other funding
(such as ward-based
Planning Obligations) to carry out play area improvements at another
time - where significant funding is available the
play area(s) are unlikely to have qualified for Playbuilder funding
-
safe travel and access (e.g. is the
site directly accessible from a cycleway?)
