Dear Sir or Madam,

What was the total expenditure of the Council on leisure and
recreation in 2007/08?

What was the total expenditure on children’s play services and
facilities in the same year for those aged under 16 years?

What amount of this came from either Big Lottery and/or Central
Government funding?

What was the estimated population of the authority area in the same
year?

What was the total estimated population aged under 16 years in the
same year?

If available, what proportion of use of leisure centres and
recreation facilities was by children aged under 16 years in the
same period?

If appropriate, what was the % use of Libraries run by the
authority by children aged under 16 in the same period?

If appropriate, in the years from its introduction what has been
the expenditure by the authority under Section 508 of the Education
Act 1996, and what proportion went to voluntary agencies?

Yours faithfully,

Jan Cosgrove
