EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In November 2011 Woking Borough Council appointed JKN Associates to undertake a review of the Playing Pitch Study they produced in 2006. Within the timescale and available resources the methodology adopted for this piece of work centred on desk research, consultation with key stakeholders and site visits. The review focussed on the changes that have occurred to the supply of facilities in the last six years and the changes in the demand for pitch sports over the same period. Unlike many local authorities that have produced Playing Pitch Strategies, Woking Borough Council have used the previous 2006 document and action plan as a working tool to guide capital investment. The findings from this new study can be used in a similar manner to aid investment decisions to 2016/21.
