(1) Consult families and children on City playground upgrades– Rebecca Graber
To receive the following petition referred from the meeting of Full Council and signed by 278 people:
We the undersigned petition Brighton & Hove Council to engage in a period of open consultation with families in the communities for each park prior to undertaking upgrades to assess preferences for equipment, access and use with particular attention to the character of each play space and the needs of local children, specifically including children directly in this consultation for example accessing via schools , playgroups and childcare settings. Assess community satisfaction with upgrades already undertaken with budget allocation to address issues identified through this process and to inform future tendering and playground design. Prioritise improving quality of playgrounds with degraded or unsafe equipment particularly in low-income or low-green space areas of the city, using outputs from the above requested consultation. Generate a report of the opportunities and limitations of each playground for providing a variety of inclusive, accessible, age-appropriate play experiences.
