Stockport Council secured over a million pounds in Playbuilder funding, being spent on refurbishing 22 play areas across the borough, with equipment for 8-13 year olds.

Currently, Scholes Field has some fairly elderly and poorly-used play equipment in the south east corner (near to the paths to Borrowdale Avenue and Linksway).  The plan is to replace this with a new, improved play area in the year 2010-2011 and there’s £50,000 to do it.

Local people (including the likely users of the equipment) will be consulted both on the location of the play area and the equipment to go in it.

For example, we could look at keeping the play area where it is now, moving it nearer to the new pavillion or elsewhere on the field.
