    LONDON, ENGLAND - AUGUST 11: A general view of a community playground situated on a housing estate in Fulham on August 11, 2010 in London, England. Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Education, has suspended grants to 122 English councils allocated to construct and manage around 1,300 play schemes. The Government has stated that the 235 million GBP 'Playbuilder' scheme, created by the Labour administration more than two years ago, is unaffordable. (Photo by Oli Scarff/Getty Images)
