FOI Request - Children's Playgrounds
Request 101003153695
Please could you provide the following information for the financial year 2019/20:
1. How many children’s playgrounds did your authority manage?
2. How much did your authority spend on children’s playgrounds, including inspection, maintenance, repair and replacement?
3. How much did your authority spend on the creation of new children’s playgrounds?
For clarity, I am interested in children’s playgrounds located in public and semi-public spaces such as parks, open spaces, housing estates and adventure playgrounds. I am not interested in school playgrounds.
