  As you know Keith, there is no secret society, but there are cabinet members and senior officers looking at sites and their viability as play areas.
  
  Ownership (if not owned by DDC) is an issue, as if a plot of land is thought to be suitable, the ownership of it has to be deternined and then find out if they are willing to sell it as a play area; I don't even think that CPOs can play a part in this.
  
  An area of land within a residential area would be good as a play area, but also great (for the owner) as a residential plot and fetch so much more money too of course.
  
  Another issue is size and location - are they both appropriate.
  
  Local views - has there been a recent consultation on where exactly would the local residents want a play-area (and how comprehensive was it) - there is afterall a very small number of areas that could be used as a play-area and only so much money (perhaps to buy the land if in private ownership, then sort the land out and equip it, or put another way, would they like so and so site to be a play area ?
