Provision of cr che facilities as a planning requirement in the case of factories, schools, hotels and large work places. A clearly identified inviolable Green belt needs to be identified which marks the edge of the Town. This needs to be kept free from buildings and reserved for wildlife, passive leisure, active sports etc. The destruction of the Rocky Road and surroundings is testimony to our failure to do this in the past. Central overlooked green areas are a social and safe place for children to play informally.
Parents know where their children are and what they are doing.
In the absence of such green areas children may become involved in anti-social behaviour. Play is natural to every child's life and part of each persons development. It is the means by which we discover the world around them. At the same time we develop and practise newly learned skills. These skills are social and behaviour-forming, part of our educational and intellectual development as we grow physically, emotionally and spiritually.
