Additional documents:
Minutes:
The Leisure Development Manager presented a report on the refreshed Hastings and St Leonards Play Space Strategy, including proposed actions, for Cabinet to consider.
The council had a longstanding commitment to enabling children and young people to enjoy their right to play. The Hastings and St Leonards Play Space Strategy, which was produced in partnership with AmicusHorizons Ltd and Orbit Housing Association, had last been updated in 2011.
A comprehensive audit of the town’s play facilities had been undertaken. Since 2011, the number of households in the borough within 600 metres of a good rated playground had increased by 18%.
The refreshed strategy outlined key actions to be undertaken between 2015 and 2017, in partnership with local housing associations, to maximise the number of households with access to a good quality play space. The refreshed strategy also highlighted the need to provide access to informal play space around the town.
Councillor Poole moved approval of the recommendations to the report, which was seconded by Councillor Cartwright.
RESOLVED (unanimously) that:
1. The contents of the revised Play Space Strategy be agreed, and;
2. The proposed actions be agreed
The reason for this decision was:
The council and its partners committed to the implementation of the Hastings and St Leonards Play Space Strategy (2011). The refreshed version continues to embrace the agreed framework and proposed new actions. The strategy will ensure that a maximum number of children and young people form across the Borough have access to quality play spaces, which can be sustained within allocated budgets.
