Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1268

Received: 15/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Denise Delahunty

Representation Summary:

Local plan involves the abolition of too many community football pitches. Each football club is used by AT LEAST 150 youths every weekend. There is already a shortage of playing fields, the evidence of this is shown if new teams form, it's almost impossible to hire a pitch. The long term effect of eliminating this community will be an increase in anti social behaviour, increasing obesity in our youth and loss of a huge voluntary community spirit
