The study leading up to the formulation of the Strategy will look at all community accessible facilities within the City, including those not in the ownership of the Council. The study will provide direction and set priorities for each key pitch sport, aligning with the local need. It will provide a robust need for capital and developer contribution funding.  This report will recommend the Strategy for consultation.

The Head of City Leisure and Parks submitted a report (previously circulated, now appended) seeking approval to release the Playing Pitches Strategy for public consultation.
