Playgrounds: Disability
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of creating an inclusive playground fund to develop accessible playgrounds for disabled children.
- Answer
-
Through our national design guidance we encourage public spaces, including play areas, to be designed in an accessible and inclusive way.
The Local Government Finance Settlement makes available £54.1 billion in 2022/23 for local government in England, an increase of up to £3.7 billion on 2021/22. The majority of this funding is un-ringfenced in recognition of local authorities being best placed to understand local priorities, such as local playgrounds.
