Walkden and Little Hulton

Locally Equipped Area of Play (LEAP)

Section 106 Agreements made within Walkden and Little Hulton since April 2000 have resulted in contributions of over £730,000 * being used to deliver a number of improvements within the vicinity of the developments that provided them.

Project: Locally Equipped Area of Play (LEAP)

It had been highlighted within the council's Greenspace Strategy that Oakwood Recreation Ground required a Locally Equipped Area of Play as provision for play in the area could be enhanced further. Section 106 contributions have enabled additional play equipment to be provided through the installation of a LEAP which was completed in April 2009.

The table below shows what improvements have or will be delivered from Section 106 contributions received since April 2000.
