1.     To provide funding of £30,000 from the Council’s capital funds in support of ensuring that this new play facility can be used by all members of the community (Recommended).

2.     To do nothing – This will mean that the new play facility may exclude those who are less able and those using wheelchairs or pushchairs (Not recommended).
