Wirral Play Zones
Residents and community groups are being asked to Have Their Say on what kind of sports facilities they would like in their local areas, to help the council bid for funding.
Through its Active Wirral leisure service, the council has the opportunity to apply for funding for PlayZones - high quality facilities for sports such as football, netball, rugby, hockey and basketball.
PlayZones are primarily funded by the Football Foundation and the scheme focuses on communities that need facilities the most, usually where levels of physical activity are low.
A consultation is seeking the views of residents and community partners to better understand any needs and requirements for PlayZones in Wirral, with hopes to submit an evidence-based funding bid to the programme.
Plans to expand Wirral’s PlayZone offer are in the consultation stage. Answers submitted to this survey may be used in a future funding bid aiming to bring new or refurbished PlayZones to Wirral. To complete the survey, please click here: www.haveyoursay.wirral.gov.uk/playzones.
The consultation will be open for comments until Monday 25 September. You can find out more about PlayZones here.
