17. Upgrade Play Areas and Kickabout Areas
To improve existing play areas and provide more recreational space in Ross-on-Wye.
In looking at the response to question 33 about play areas it is important to note that only 22% of those who answered it were in the 20-40 age group (those most likely to have young children).
17% of respondents were in favour of more play areas and 13% felt that each should have extended facilities to include provision for special needs.
With regard to requests for more "kickabout / recreation areas" 33% agreed they were needed.
