Play area Wokingham consultation
Residents in locations across the Wokingham borough are being asked for their views on 12 play areas to consider whether they meet the needs of the community.
Launched on Monday June 4 the consultation on the use and suitability of the play areas is being sent to more than 7,900 households in the vicinity of those areas affected. There are 99 play areas in the Wokingham borough. Those being considered in the consultation are:
Finchampstead
Gorse Ride North, Arnett Avenue
Gorse Ride South, off Nine Mile Ride
Lower Earley
Kilnsea Walk, Mill Lane
Moorhen Drive, Privet Close
Skelmerdale Way East, off Toseland Way
Shinfield
Drewett Close, off Whitley Wood Lane
Twyford
Waltham Chase toddler area, off Hurst Road, Broadhinton
Wokingham
Evendons Lane, off Finchampstead Road
Culloden Way, off North Way, Woosehill
Montague Close, off Twycross Road, Keephatch Park
Woodley
Mollison Way, off Mohawk Way
Hearn Road, off Drovers Way
These Wokingham areas have been identified for a variety of reasons, including reports from local residents of vandalism and anti-social behaviour, under-use or the fact that the area in question is located close to a number of other play areas. The council wants residents and users of these areas to make their views known in order to determine a strategy for their future use.
Working together, children’s services and the parks and open spaces team will use the comments received to further develop and enhance the play strategy for the borough.
The Wokingham council would like to hear from people who use these areas to play as well as a place to rest, relax or socialise and is hoping that everyone interested will take part in the consultation.
Executive member for environment Wokingham Cllr Simon Weeks said: “With the council’s sport and leisure strategy recently agreed, the council is taking a close look at other areas of leisure activity. We need to look at the borough’s play areas and associated open spaces to see if they are meeting the needs of our communities.
“We have sent surveys to households in the vicinity of each of the play areas and would hope that people take this opportunity to have their say. For those who use the play areas, but do not live in the vicinity, there are notices informing people how to get a copy of the survey. Alternatively, the survey is available online at www.wokingham.gov.uk.”
Completed surveys should be returned to the council by the closing date of July 16, 2007.
