QUESTION NO.31
QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons
To ask the Chief Executive for an update report on the PlaySpace Programme ? is it on schedule? and to outline plans going forward? How many are in consultation stage?
REPLY:
An update on progress in the implementation of the 2014 -2018 Play Space Programme is shown below. The programme is generally on schedule. In some instances public consultation has taken slightly longer than anticipated. This is reflected in the table below - there are projects in the 2014 programme that are only now at the construction stage. However, this level of consultation and finding agreement with the local communities is a necessary step in ensuring the success and sustainability of the programme in the long term.
The Five Year Playspace Programme provides for annual review of all projects, both delivered as well as not delivered and the issues and experience gained through the process.
