It details the extent of the quality and quantity of grass and synthetic playing surfaces accessible to the general public in Kingston upon Hull and their ability to meet the needs of the users. Projections have been made of future demands based on anticipated population growth and expected increases in participation in individual sports. The Playing Pitch Strategy will help inform the Council’s decision making process for the management and proposed enhancement of its outdoor sports pitch provision including utilisation within the planning process where appropriate. This will enable informed decisions as to future provision both in quantity and quality of facilities. The current information contained in the Strategy was collected between May 2016 and August 2016. There are continual changes to the level of provision and to the number of teams active in the City. The information in the Strategy necessarily is based on the situation at the time of the particular survey. Clubs and teams that use the facilities have been contacted and their views collated on facilities provided for their sports. The surveys covered all outdoor sports facilities accessibly to the general public; this included schools, colleges and privately owned facilities. There have been discussions with representatives of those City Council departments concerned with the provision, maintenance and use of playing fields, and with the National Governing Bodies, private clubs and other organisations that provide and use playing pitches and cricket squares. Kingston upon Hull Playing Pitch Strategy 2011-2021 Update 2016 5 Key Findings City wide there is recognition for upgrading of playing pitches including better drainage and changing, reception, toilets, office and storage to service community use. There are clear maintenance issues particularly in respect of pitch provision within parks and playing fields with only minimum grounds operations being carried out leading to relatively poor quality pitches. Quality of provision is an issue across the city particularly in respect of cricket with no provision in North East Hull and a decline in demand in general with the demise of the works leagues in Hull. The significant shortfall of provision for mini football and rugby in order to encourage the sports from a younger age is being addressed with much greater provision being provided. Intermediate rugby pitch needs have been identified in order for clubs to progress to higher levels. Provision of tennis should be improved as there is poor publicly accessible tennis court provision across the city with the exception of Pelican Park in East Hull. Following the completion of the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme there is a more than adequate supply of Artificial Grass Pitches (AGPs); 40 in total available for community use across the city It is clearly evident that there is no single access point for the public to book outdoor sports facilities within the city. Calls are taken through the 300300 number but the process to identify all available pitches is not clear and only a limited number of council owned facilities are on offer through this system. A more joined up approach particularly incorporating school facilities would be very beneficial in promoting the use of these pitches. Kingston upon Hull

    Children’s Services Overview and Scrutiny Commission Panel Enquiry into Youth Services June, 2008 Scrutiny Report No # Chair’s Foreword This enquiry was undertaken after members of the former Lifelong Learning, Culture and Leisure Overview and Scrutiny Commission expressed concern regarding the impact the Youth Matters Green Paper would have on the provision of existing youth provision in the City. In particular we felt that historically, the move to a curriculum based youth service had led to a significant drop in the number of young people accessing youth services in the City. We realised that there were a significant number of current and emerging issues at a national level which would impact on the future delivery of youth services, across all sectors, at a local level. For these reasons we have made a number of strategic recommendations which should be taken into consideration as part of any future service reconfiguration and future commissioning of services for young people. During the course of the enquiry we established that there were a number of areas within the spectrum of both statutory and voluntary youth services which should be addressed. In particular, we found that a number of issues relating to the way the City Council worked with community and voluntary sector organisations in delivering quality, value for money youth activities within the City. We also recognised the need to redress the balance between universal and targeted youth work plus the urgent need to reintroduce outreach and detached youth work within the City. The Panel received a lot of evidence and considered the options very carefully, placing the views of young people as a priority.

  • Community Education in British Urban Priority Areas with Special Reference to Hull
    COMMUNITY EDUCATION IN BRITISH URBAN PRIORITY AREAS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO HULL JAMES ANTHONY McELLIGOTT Submitted to the University of London Institute of Education for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Ph.D.) BBL LONDIN. UNIV. 1 ABSTRACT This thesis develops a model of community education for non traditional adult learners from the least socially and educationally advantaged groups living in the priority areas of urban Britain. The model is investigated through a case study of a community education project situated within North Hull. The thesis is organised into six chapters. Chapter One commences with a detailed analysis of urban priority areas and examines the cumulative effects of post war material conditions, social dislocation and educational underachievement. Educational proposals for ameliorating the situation are reviewed, including the idea of closer links with the home and neighbourhood as part of a community education solution. Chapter Two develops this emerging theme of community education by examining compensatory and reconstructionist models of British community education in which USA models of compensation and the idea of community problem solving became influential Following this early discussion, a model for community education in priority areas is proposed in Chapter Three. The model has the overall purpose of developing adult learners and achieving more open and accessible institutions through a two stage continuum of learning opportunities. Chapter Four describes the North Hull Community Outreach Project which investigates the model in practice. In Chapter Five an evaluation of the case study is carried out to analyse the potential value of the model. Chapter Six brings together the main findings of the thesis.

He had previously represented Cruzeiro, Barcelona, Benfica and the Brazilian national side in the 2000 Sydney Olympics and 2001 Copa America tournaments. Geovanni wrote himself into Hull City’s history by scoring the Tigers’ first Premier League goal; a spectacular long range strike to equalise against Fulham in a 2-1 win. He is though, better remembered for another sublime goal from distance scored against Arsenal in another 2-1 victory. In total Geovanni made 65 appearances for the Tigers, scoring 13 goals. #TigerRags Supported by Hull UK City of Culture 2017 Cabinet 1 JAN VENNEGOOR OF HESSELINK (right) (Netherlands) 2009/2010 away shirt Number 29, worn by Vennegoor of Hesselink during the 2009/2010 campaign The Dutchman with the very long name joined Hull City in September 2009 after three seasons playing in Scotland with Celtic. His career began at FC Twente, where 59 goals in five seasons earned him an international call up and a move to PSV Eindhoven, winning the Eredivisie three times. With City for just one season, he made 33 appearances, 14 as substitute, scoring 3 goals. At first, full size lettering was used on his shirts, encircling the number, but smaller letters were later used.

The season has really had a shocking start weather wise for some clubs, this is only Saddleworths second game of the season and no doubt they will be hoping to get off the mark after a defeat at Askam two weeks ago. We have been more fortunate with no postponements but after our flier in the first game away at Leigh East we have come a bit unstuck with defeats at home to Dewsbury Moor and away last week at Wigan St Judes.
