Play Strategy

Between 2003 and 2004 Guildford Borough Council adopted three separate strategies covering different aspects of play and facilities for young people.

1. Play Development Strategy for Guildford Borough
2. Guildford Borough Council Fixed Equipment Playground Strategy
3. Guildford Borough Youth Facilities Strategy

Each of these strategies could be used separately and still achieve their aims, but this would not necessarily ensure that:

1. appropriate priority was given to each action
2. projects were integrated where appropriate to save resources
3. a full, clear, cross cutting agenda was produced enabling partnerships, both within and externally to the Council were fully considered

So these three strategies have been combined to produce one coherent document: 'A Time and Place for Play a Play Strategy for Guildford.  This strategy links to the Play Development Strategy Action Plan which provides a framework for the development of play and youth facilities within the Borough for children and young people.

The development of a new Play Strategy and action plan is currently underway and will be available in 2012.
