Dear Berden Parish council,

Please can you help me with the following FOI request?

1) How many council owned public children’s play areas (by which I mean parks, playgrounds, adventure playgrounds, assault courses and any other play areas) do you currently operate (latest figures available)

2) How many council owned public children’s play areas did you own or operate in the financial year 2009/2010

3) How many council owned public children’s play areas were sold, or closed, from the financial year 2009/2010 to the present date?

4) If the figures are held, what was the area covered by children's play areas that you owned measured by square feet in 2009/10, and on the most recent date for which figures are available?

Yours faithfully,

Jon Parker-Dean

Parish Clerk Berden, Berden Parish council

Morning Jon

If by "council" you mean parish council, we own a playground (swings,
climbing equipment, slide etc) and one area of grass used for 5-a-side
football etc.

We had both of these in 2009/10, nothing has been sold or closed.

I could find out area if really needed, but the councillor with that
info is away at present.

If you mean playgrounds etc owned/managed by district or county council,
the answer is none.

regards

Sue Griffiths, Clerk, Berden Parish Council.
