Investing in our play areas – have your say

North East Lincolnshire Council wants your views on how it spends £800,000 refurbishing and upgrading its play parks during the next three years.

The investment is for children’s play equipment and the Council wants to know which parks people are using and where it should focus its efforts.

Funding was approved at full council on 18 February to support people’s health and well-being and to recognise the value placed in the area’s parks and open spaces.

Councillor Stewart Swinburn, portfolio holder for environment and transport, said:

“Parks and play areas are cherished by many and bring health and social benefits to the wider community.
