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 Stanley 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. In general the notes which accompanied the feedback maps detailed the following: • Beamish FC has a lease on the site at New Kyo and is attempting to develop pitches there themselves for club use • Morrison Welfare could accommodate 1 extra mini pitch (preferably ATP) with increased investment • Greencroft Enterprise Community School could accommodate 3 extra senior football pitches with increased investment 13 Durham Playing Pitch Strategy Stanley Area Action Partnership Profile • Teams have reported missed games at Craghead Welfare due to the unsuitability of the pitch at certain times of the year • Plans have been drawn up and issued to the county councillor to pass onto County Hall with the aim of providing football, athletics, cricket, rugby, tennis and basketball at the Park Fields Complex.
