Playgrounds: Finance
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the Playground Fund will be expanded to additional local authorities.
- Answer
-
The £18m Playgrounds Fund is a targeted programme to improve children’s access to safe, inclusive, high‑quality local play spaces in communities where it has fallen furthest behind. This investment in playgrounds reflects the Government’s commitment to give children the best start in life. At this stage, we have no current plans to expand the Playgrounds Fund to additional local authorities.
