  • Update on the Public Play Facilities Strategy
    UPDATE ON THE PUBLIC PLAY FACILITIES STRATEGY Report by Service Director Assets & Infrastructure SCOTTISH BORDERS COUNCIL 27 August 2020 1 PURPOSE AND SUMMARY 1.1 Following the meeting Scottish Borders Council on 19 December 2019, this report sets out the process and outcomes of engagement with Ward Members on proposals for the decommissioning of some play equipment in some play parks within the Scottish Borders, as agreed. 1.2 The strategic review of Play facilities is integral to the planned future investment in Outdoor Community Spaces including Public Play parks, agreed as part of the 2018/19 Capital Investment Plan and updated within the Capital Investment Plan 2019-20 and 2020/21. The current 2020/21 capital budget includes funding of £4.809m into Outdoor Community Spaces over a 10-year period. This investment aims to unlock community aspirations in this area creating high quality destination play parks, as well as facilities for skating and small wheels, youth shelters and opportunities for people of all ages to take part in physical activity. Investment in these destination play parks has already completed in Galashiels (2018), Harestanes (2019), Selkirk(2016), Hawick (2017), Coldstream (2019) and Kelso (2019) with Peebles currently being procured and expected to be delivered in 2020. 1.3 The new investment creates a financial revenue burden and, in order to ensure a cost neutral impact of the investment to the Council, a programme of decommissioning of aged and underutilised play equipment is required. 1.4 Council agreed in May 2018 to review the distribution of play equipment provision across play parks in the Borders, to firstly inform decision making around future investment in communities and secondly guide the rationalisation of play facilities which are deemed no longer fit for purpose, ensuring a cost neutral impact on established budgets.
