Purpose

The playing field at Bramber
Primary School is currently deemed unsafe for educational purposes
due to flints from the underlying soil structure coming to the
surface; there are also drainage issues which create waterlogging
that affect use of the field. 
 
It is proposed to undertake an
improvement project to rectify the issues identified and restore
the playing field to a safe and usable condition thereby providing
suitable outside space for physical education in accordance with
the curriculum.
 
Approval is required for the
allocation of funding to carry out the remedial works to improve
the playing surface and drainage to enable the school to resume use
of the playing field.
