Despite being 89% open Green Belt. The provision of outdoor sports space in particular pitches is insufficient.
If the community is to grow by 7000+ homes we need to provide more formal open recreational space and playing surfaces.
We should also accept that pitches require suitable ancillary building for changing and we cannot provide one without the other.
The standard of council pitches and facilities is poor so we should encourage provision of such facilities by private land owners and community clubs
