Sports pitches

We maintain a range of sports pitches and fine turf across the district which are hired out to clubs on a seasonal or on-off basis.

We maintain them so they can be used during the playing season - except in extreme weather conditions - and are safe for users.

We maintain both types of surfaces in a way which takes into account the local ecology. We avoid the use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides unless absolutely necessary.

We also upgrade pitches when and where we can, this includes installing land drainage and listening to recommendations of sports' governing bodies.

We also ask you to not use any of these sites for golf practice and to keep dogs off them as both activities do cause damage.

We aim to maintain ornamental fine turf to an appropriate standard taking the local ecology into account.

We do not look after pitches which are managed by local clubs or by town and parish councils.
