Rejected petition Make the surfaces of children's playgrounds soft to avoid injuries

More details

Children's playgrounds continue to have hard surfaces which may result in injuries if a child falls over whilst running or comes off a swing or some other apparatus. It would be much safer if they had a soft surface, resulting in far fewer injuries when a child - inevitably - falls over.
