Dear Croydon Borough Council,

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I ask you to provide me with the following information:
1) The current provisions of outdoor recreational areas for children in the Sanderstead, Kenley and Purley areas of Croydon
2) How much investment Croydon Council made in outdoor recreational areas for children in these areas from 2010-2014.

I would prefer to have the information electronically if possible.

Yours faithfully,

Bethany Whymark

In such cases you will be notified and, where possible, a revised time-scale will be indicated. In all cases we shall attempt to deal with your request at the earliest opportunity.

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of the information requested where the request exceeds the statutory limit or where disbursements exceed £450.
