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.
