NEEDS ASSESSMENT SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1: Introduction Knight, Kavanagh & Page Ltd (KKP) was commissioned by Active Dorset to assess formal indoor sports facility needs across the six local authorities of Christchurch, East Dorset, West Dorset, Purbeck, Weymouth and Portland and North Dorset. The aim is to provide six separate needs assessments, one strategy and six action plans across the aforementioned authorities with the aim of assisting strategic planning for the future. This report, thus, provides a detailed assessment of current provision of indoor and built sports facilities for West Dorset District Council (WDDC), identifying needs and gaps in provision. 1.2: Background The following is an overview of West Dorset.
