Council officials hope the plans will encourage more local children to make the most of city playparks.

Playgrounds in Glasgow areas of high child poverty are getting priority for repairs and improvements in a new council move to help families in need.

A Glasgow City Council officer said: "What we are proposing is that play areas, which serve the highest number of children in poverty, are now refurbished first so these children are getting the best of the services that we are able to offer." Councillors were told children have also been giving feedback on playgrounds as part of a 'play sufficiency assessment' submitted to Scottish Ministers under a city development plan 2 process.

Speaking at the meeting, councillor Stephen Docherty, Labour, asked how often biodiversity areas are maintained.
