Playgrounds: Are you happy your play area is safe?

As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, more children head outside to play

With the summer holidays right around the corner, you'll probably be spending more time outdoors playing with friends in the sun, at the beach and at the park.

But due to cuts in the amount of money local councils are given to spend on leisure facilities, some play areas have fallen into a bad state and are in need of repair.

Children in Grimsby have been protesting and saying their play area is dangerous after a toddler tripped and nearly hurt herself on a nail.

They have started a petition asking the council to fix the playground at their local park so they can stay safe while they play.

The local council said this play area and 25 others was going to be "refurbished and upgraded" and has encouraged anyone who wanted to, to take "a more active role in fundraising and looking after their local play area".
