For example the surveys to pitch sport clubs were posted directly to the club secretary and were individualised to contain team and pitch information relevant to that club gathered from Sport England (clubs were then invited to amend that information if incorrect). The survey also contained a local map on which clubs could indicate other grounds that they might be prepared to play on as well as providing an opportunity to highlight any open space that they thought had potential for the development of new facilities. The community workshops provided an opportunity for clubs and parishes to raise their own club/parish specific issues but were primarily aimed at securing collective views on key issues for the various sports. As the meetings were arranged on a Community Sports Network basis the general findings will often apply to more than one Action Area Partnership. The results of the questionnaires which were returned from clubs in the East Durham Rural Corridor AAP are shown below. The table show the responses whilst the graph maps these responses in relation to specific pitches detailing those which are used most frequently and those which could accommodate extra provision. 13 Durham Playing Pitch Strategy East Durham Rural Corridor Area Action Partnership Profile In general the notes which accompanied the feedback maps detailed the following: • With increased investment, Sedgefield Community College could accommodate 2 extra mini football pitches • With increased investment, Butterwick Road Playing Field could accommodate 1 additional full-size football pitch • Increase capacity could be obtained at Coxhoe Leisure Centre by introducing a 3G pitch surface and floodlights • In addition, land to the south of Coxhoe Leisure Centre could accommodate 2-3 extra full-size football pitches, however investment would be required to purchase this land • There is additional space for 1 ATP and 1 full-size football pitch at Bowburn Park. There was originally an alternative pitch at this facility but this is no longer in use • The cricket pitch at Trimdon Community College is reported to be the worst in the league • A new school has just been constricted on 1 of the pitches owned by Sedgefield St Edmunds School.
