Design Guide SPD - Movement - Chapter 7
Representation ID: 16140
Received: 11/03/2023
Respondent: Billington Parish Council
Billington Great and Little with also a large community of Travellers living in Little Billington and nearby Stanbridge Road (Stanbridge Parish) nearer to Billington than Stanbridge. The Parish play and leisure space is good and sufficient, although the tarmac area where some equipment is sited needs a re-tarmac.
It is extremely dangerous for children and adults to cross the very busy B440 to access the play and leisure facilities. A crossing is required for safety.
In the Design Guide it states, see below:-
Ideally the location of the play space should allow easy access from all parts of the development, near to well used pedestrian routes with good surveillance from neighbouring properties. Access to play space should also avoid the need to cross major roads and other hazardous obstacles. Footpaths which are to be used as a main access footpath to the rest of a green corridor should not run through the middle of a play area.
