Sports Pitch Survey 2017

Purpose of Consultation - To consult with people who book Council owned sports pitches to get their views on the process of making bookings on behalf of their participants and to learn how best to improve the service.

Scope and Methodology- This consultation was targeted at the 22 most frequent persons / organisations using the booking systems to understand any current issues with booking pitches and to learn if users would welcome and prefer to use an online booking system.

The consultation information and questionnaire were published on Citizen Space. Phone contact was also made with the most frequent users of the pitches.  The consultation was open from 17^th November 2017 to 8^th December 2017.

The consultation received 19 responses - 14 online and 5 by phone.

In view of the clear support for an online booking system the Council have engaged with a software supplier and are creating the system ready to go live later in 2018.
