  • Bowls in Leeds: Consultation
    Bowls in Leeds: Consultation ABOUT THIS CONSULTATION Crown green bowls is a popular sport in Leeds, with over 4,000 club members using over 100 greens. It is a distinctive part of our cultural and sporting scene, and is popular with many older people who do not take part in other active sports. Leeds City Council is the major provider, with 71 greens at 50 sites throughout the city. From surveys conducted in 2001 and 2010, there are signs that the sport is in decline with memberships falling by a quarter from 2001 to 2010. This consultation concerns outdoor bowling facilities that are managed by the council’s Parks and Countryside service. The organisation of the council’s greens has not been overhauled for many years, and indeed is still operating under the terms of a lease from 1985. The provision of outdoor bowls is heavily subsidised by the council, nearly quarter of a million pounds each year, and furthermore the council is under acute financial pressure and needs to economise where possible. Savings are needed and a target of £150k was identified in the recent report that went to the council’s executive board. However, the council believes that it will be possible to empower bowls club members to improve the quality of provision for bowls and to help reverse the long term decline of the sport at the same time as reducing the level of public subsidy. This will only be possible with a strategic approach to the sport. It has provisionally identified the following approach to achieving these aims: • Eliminate wasteful expenditure, by removing surplus greens at multi-green sites to retain only the greens which are well used.
