RICHARD LOCHHEAD MSP: INVESTMENT IN MORAY’S PLAY PARKS REACHES £656K

SNP GOVERNMENT SUPPORTING KIDS ACROSS MORAY 

Richard Lochhead MSP has welcomed new figures which reveal £656,000 has been invested in improvements at 13 play parks in Moray.   

The Scottish Government has provided £35 million to renew or improve play parks since May 2021 - £15 million in 2024/25 alone. A total of 887 play parks have been renewed, or were being renewed in Scotland, up to April 2024.

This investment is ensuring children across the country have safe places to play in their local community and is an important priority for First Minister John Swinney’s Government, supporting his mission to improve the lives of children across Scotland.

Commenting, SNP MSP Richard Lochhead said:

“The SNP was right to commit to improving play parks for children across Scotland, and I’m pleased to see Moray reap the benefits of this investment.

“We know how important it is for children to have access to play areas – for development and for fun – and investment of £656,000 will improve children’s wellbeing.

“That’s an SNP promise making a real difference in our community. That’s what you get with John Swinney’s SNP government.”
