Greenwich Council’s adventure play centre cuts to be challenged

Greenwich Council’s cabinet voted to axe three of the borough’s five staffed adventure play centres – but the decision has been challenged by opposition councillors and will now go to a scrutiny hearing. 

A staffed play centre in Woolwich is to be closed altogether and replaced with an unstaffed playground nearby, while one on the Coldharbour Estate in Mottingham is to become a “community hub” for all residents and may have some youth provision. 

The Labour council said it was looking at offers from three organisations that wanted to take over the third centre, on the Glyndon Estate in Plumstead.
