Introduction

Staffordshire County Council has successfully secured £1.129.552 from the Government Playbuilder Project, for the development of 25 play areas for 8-13 year olds across the county.

The new funding will provide greater access to high quality play sites for children in Staffordshire as part of the national and local aim to ensure parents have the confidence to encourage children to play independently and take risks in a safe and stimulating environment.

The sites can be a combination of new and refurbished play areas and will be selected through an open proposals process that will aim to ensure long term sustainable change for children's play.

All applications, including those from the community and voluntary sector must come through the district/borough play partnerships. Please note these play areas cannot be on school sites, however this does not mean that schools cannot be partners in Community Projects.

Applications closed on 13 March for projects to be delivered in 2009/10.  We received 25 applications of which 10 were successful. Approved applications.
