QUESTION NO.18

QUESTION: Councillor V. Casserly

To ask the manager for an update on works to Weston Hockey Pitch

REPLY:

SDCC continues to maintain Weston hockey Pitch as per the terms of the lease.  Recent works involved the removal of a thin layer of fine silt which had risen to the top of the paying surface following heavy rains.  As advised at the deputation meeting on 26th March 2025, the pitch has exceeded its intended lifespan, having been in place since 2007.  It is now at the point where ongoing maintenance is starting to become unsustainable.  To assist in this matter, it would be of benefit if Weston Hockey Club could pursue the upgrade of the facility for which a Sports Capital Grant has been provisionally approved.
