I am a great believer in plenty of outdoor play for children doing all those things that challenge them and teach them how to deal with risks - climbing trees being one of them. Of course Wandsworth Council is not going to stop these wonderful childhood pursuits. As lead member for children's services I will be the first to stand up for good 'old-fashioned' childhood play. The bylaws are there to be used in extreme situations when vandalism, anti-social behaviour gets out of hand. More outdoor play, I say!
And talking of play, Wandsworth Council is planning upgrades at three playgrounds. Have your say in what sort of equipment you would like to see:
