My Play Space Consultations Begin

The My Play Space project involves the redevelopment of 29 local area parks over the next two years and covers the 22 sites picked to receive part of the Playbuilder Grant and the 7 sites that have received other funding. 

As part of the National Play strategy, Brighton and Hove won the £1.1 million grant to develop further children's play areas for the 8 - 13 age group.  These 22 parks have been split into two groups with 11 being scheduled to be completed in a year while the rest for 2010.  To find more information about where the parks are and how the decisions were made see this.
