Playgrounds in Bournemouth East

I’m pleased to have secured a debate in Parliament on the provision of playgrounds by local authorities, which was held on January 8th 2025. A Government Minister attended the debate and responded to my and other MPs’ contributions.

Playgrounds aren’t just places to play—they’re vital spaces where children grow, families connect, and communities thrive.

Your views will help shape my arguments and ensure the Government understands the needs of families right here in Bournemouth East.
