QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor Deirdre O'Donovan

"To ask the Chief Executive what is the current situation with the playing pitches at Elkwood?  Can he please confirm what provision has been made for local sports club, Knocklyon United, and can he also please outline the future plans for the Elkwood Pitches?"

REPLY:

The football pitch at Elkwood has recently been let to juvenile soccer club under the Council's Pitch Letting Process.  This pitch will continue to be one of the 165 pitches offered for letting by the Council under the pitch letting process for the 2014 /2015 season.

KUFC were allocated 4 pitches for 2014/2015 and alternative pitches to some of these locations are also being examined.

Separate to all of the above,  SDCC is committed to supporting KUFC’s continued growth and building on the club’s achievements. To this end, the Council will work with the club to advance a 5 year development plan for KUFC to ensure the club’s continued success and development.
