The post you are reporting:
Yes it was the Conservative administration that have invested time and money in some superb play areas; some are the best in Kent. Good to see you acknowledge that Keith.
As you have brought politics into this, the previous Labour administration, who were in power for 10 years or more, did not invest one penny in play areas and that's the reason the play equipment was taken out - because Labour let them rot.
I still believe there should be a play area in Clarendon, but times do move on and we cannot have a public play area at the bottom of every road. Strategic play areas are able to get the funding, non-strategic ones can't.
I didn't know the money was not there until much later - when it had gone; I would have shouted then if I had known at the time of it going.
All sites in and around the Priory area, over a period of time were looked at - you name it and it was looked at, but none were deemed appropriate, for a number of reasons - location, ownership, nimby's etc.
I have asked you if you know of specific sites Keith and you know that, but you have never come up with anything different from what DDC officers (and the Insurance/H & S people) have and dismissed for the above reasons.
