Mawsley Older Children’s Play Area

The intangible objectives are to:

• give older children a place in the village that they feel is a place of their own;
• directly address the Being Healthy; Making a Positive Contribution and Enjoying and Achieving desired outcomes of the Dept. of Education’s “Every Child Matters” policy;
• help prevent the disruptive behaviour and low level crime that often arises from bored and isolated (i.e. in a rural community) young people.

The material objectives are to provide, principally for use by children / young people aged c. 9 -16, a
range of activity / play facilities that:

• will be energetic to use, building strength and balance;
• will be challenging and fun to use.
