Abstract | Huthwaite Play Project is a joint venture between Ashfield District Council (ADC), the University of Derby's Childhood Studies students and staff and involves representatives of local community in the north Nottinghamshire village of Huthwaite. A key aim of the project is to provide feedback to the Council to support the improvement of two local parks known as Brierley Forest Park and Huthwaite Welfare Park as identified in the Council's Locality Plan. Huthwaite Play Project incorporated two phases: phase one took place in the autumn of 2015 whereby site evaluations and children's views about park provision were gathered. Phase two took place in February 2016 and included meeting parents of very young children at the local Sure Start Centre as well as talking with older children and young people who attended a local youth club in the village on a Friday evening. |
