Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 1:55 pm on 16 November 2016.
Thank you for that, Minister. You referred to Wales as being a play-friendly country, and I’m sure you appreciate the vital role that exercise plays in having a healthy upbringing and making us healthier adults. However, these spaces are under immense pressure. They’re being sold off or they’re just disused or just plain nasty. People don’t want to go there, because they don’t feel safe. What safeguards, Minister, can you put into place to ensure that these public spaces are protected and well maintained so that adults and children alike can enjoy the great outdoors and have a healthier lifestyle?
