Play Equipment

The original plans for Millennium Greens specified that formal play equipment and sports facilities should not be included in the creation plans for grant funding by the Countryside Commission. This has apparently lead to the belief that the rules forbid the provision of such equipment on Millennium Greens altogether, which is not the case. In fact such things have been provided on a number of Greens, including, for example, Abbots Bromley and Ardleigh. A document provided by Natural England, which is now no longer on the internet stated that the reason was simply one of cost, that such facilities were expensive and that they could make more Millennium Greens if they kept the cost down.
