The future of Leicester's adventure playgrounds have been debated by city councillors.

A petition with over 9 thousand signatures lodged by campaigners with Leicester City Council was discussed, as concerns continue about funding for the playgrounds.

The council, which pays 拢1m a year towards the running of the playgrounds, said they needed to be become "self-sustaining" sites, and would only fund the playgrounds for another year.

Bethan Lloyd runs the Adventure Playground in Braunstone and has been telling 大象传媒 Leicester's Ady Dayman why the playgrounds should stay open.
