  • Welwyn Hatfield Sport Facility Study
    Strategy and Development Welwyn Hatfield Sport Facility Study March 2011 FFFOOORRREEEWWWOOORRRDDD Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council is only one of the many organisations and groups who provide specialist facilities for sport within the borough. However, we have a special responsibility to bring together all of those involved, to develop an understanding of the network of sporting facilities that already exist and to consider the needs of Welwyn Hatfield citizens of today and in the future so that we can continue to efficiently work together to meet these needs. The attractive environment both within and around the Borough as well as its convenient location will result in continued pressure to increase the number of homes in the area. It is important to ensure that these new residents enjoy access to sports facilities. It is also essential that the increased demand does not reduce the ability of existing residents to take part in sport or physical activity as we recognise that this has a very beneficial impact on their health and quality of life. This Study has, therefore, been carried out in order to assess the quality and quantity need for additional facilities of Welwyn Hatfield. An important component of this work has been the securing of the views of many key stakeholders within the local community. In this difficult economic climate it is more important than ever to co-ordinate any investment in Sports Facilities in order to ensure that the limited funding that is available for these facilities is invested wisely, against a programme of recognised need and to ensure that the facilities that exist are sustainable.
