£225 million for play in Child

Incredible announcements were made on 11th December for play!

This is taken from the Children's Plan announced by Ed Balls:

Chapter 1: Happy and healthy
Parents and children told us that they wanted safe places to play outside, and we know that
play has real benefits for children. We will spend £225 million over the next three years to
offer every local authority capital funding that would allow up to 3,500 playgrounds nationally to be rebuilt or renewed and made accessible to children with disabilities create 30 new adventure playgrounds for 8 - to 13-year-olds in disadvantaged areas, supervised by trained staff; and we will publish a play strategy by summer 2008.
