To provide the Cabinet Member for Heath and Wellbeing with the required information in order for him to approve both the evaluation process and outcomes for the second year Playbuilder Programme applications and agree to the funding allocated to the fourteen play sites selected for improvement as a result.

The Cabinet Member received a report on the evaluation process and outcomes for the second year Playbuilder Programme applications.

Cheshire East had received a grant from the Department for Children, Schools and Families through the Playbuilder Capital Fund to improve play provision across Cheshire East. Local communities had been invited to apply for funding to refurbish play sites for the second year of the Playbuilder programme. Twenty-one applications had been received and evaluated against Play England’s ten design principles and Cheshire East Playbuilder criteria to establish need and suitability. Fourteen sites had met the criteria.

(1)   the evaluation process for the twenty-one applications received in the second phase of the Playbuilder Project; and

(2)   the fourteen sites evaluated for improvement in the second phase of the Playbuilder programme and the funding allocated to each project.
