PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY Action Plan Update LONDON BOROUGH OF RICHMOND UPON THAMES PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY Action Plan Update September 2019 LONDON BOROUGH OF RICHMOND UPON THAMES PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY – Action Plan Update Purpose of this document This document relates to, and should be read in conjunction with, the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS), which was developed for the Council by Knight, Kavanagh & Page (KKP) and published in March 2018. Monitoring and updating the PPS forms an important part of the planning process, with guidance from Sport England recommending that the actions identified within the Strategy are reviewed on an annual basis. In light of this, the Council participated in ‘Stage E’ meetings in March and September 2019 with representatives of Sport England, Sport Richmond, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), England Hockey, the Football Association (FA), the Football Foundation, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), and the Rugby Football Union (RFU). The intention of these meeting was to monitor the delivery of the recommendations and action plan identified in the PPS, and to highlight emergent issues and opportunities. The meetings were not intended to review the overarching strategic recommendations identified within Part 5 of the PPS, which are considered to remain applicable and relevant. Guide to using this document The site by site action plans identified within ‘Part 6’ of the PPS have been replicated in the tables below, each of which covers one of the three study areas utilised in the original assessment study (Hampton & Teddington; Richmond; and Twickenham). For reference, these tables are identified on pages 45-51, 54-59, and 62-65 of the PPS, respectively. In addition, three further columns have been included, recording the ‘actions taken’ and the ‘issues raised’. These relate to items emerging from the ‘Stage E’ meetings identified in the section above. Where new material has been added – and/or existing actions, information or recommendations have been affected – the relevant box has been highlighted using a light orange fill for actions/issues raised in March 2019 and a light blue fill for actions/issues raised in September 2019. This is intended to aid users to easily identify where new information has been provided as part of the monitoring process. Explanatory text regarding various heading and categories identified within the table is included on pages 40-42 of the original document, however for convenience this is also replicated in Appendix 1. Caveats Please note, this document reflects a snapshot of information gathered at particular points in time, in March and September 2019, with minor factual corrections subsequently provided by the National Governing Bodies as part of a review process. The identified actions and recommendations should not however be taken as confirmation in any way, particularly in relation to the identification of funding. Priorities do change over time, and so other projects that are not identified below may also come forward. Due to resource constraints, other than when it was raised on a site-specific basis, a review of the demand and supply that informed the Council’s Playing Pitch Assessment has not been included as part of this monitoring exercise.

Following last week’s update on Twickenham Riverside the “Twickenham Lido” petition, advocating sport and leisure on the disputed site became very active with an additional eighty people signing and making comments. These are individual residents - now 4,243 supporters of “Twickenham lido”, who the Council do not seem to hear. However, a question asked is will the Council give in to public opinion or will minority groups in a small area of Twickenham win the day? The Council consultation at the moment consists of a “Stakeholders Group”. Those of us interested in Twickenham Riverside are all stakeholders but a number of the groups invited to consult with the Council seem to be connected with Eel Pie Island - a car-free island, where people appear to want to keep vehicles on the Embankment rather than looking at alternative parking.

  • Park Promotion Pontypool Rugby Club
    Neutral Citation Number: [2012] EWHC 1919 (QB) Case No: HQ12X01661 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE QUEEN'S BENCH DIVISION Royal Courts of Justice Strand, London, WC2A 2LL Date: 11 July 2012 Before : SIR RAYMOND JACK SITTING AS A JUDGE OF THE HIGH COURT - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Between : PARK PROMOTION LIMITED T/A Claimant PONTYPOOL RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB - and - THE WELSH RUGBY UNION LIMITED Defendant - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Ian Rogers (instructed by Messrs Geldards LLP) for the Claimants Adam Lewis QC and Tom Mountford (instructed by Messrs Charles Russell LLP) for the Defendants Hearing dates: 25, 26 and 27 June 2012 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Judgment Sir Raymond Jack : 1. This case is concerned with the right of the claimant, the Pontypool Rugby Club, a club with a proud history, to continue to play in the Premier Division of Welsh rugby in the 2012/13 season. The defendant is the Welsh Rugby Union, which organises and controls the sport of rugby union in Wales. It is the view of the WRU that as a result of the re-organisation of the Premier Division to reduce the number of clubs playing in it and Pontypool’s position in order of playing meritocracy of the fourteen clubs formerly in the division, the club is now only eligible to play in the Championship, the next division down. The essence of Pontypool’s case is that clubs which are above it on a basis of playing merit have not met the requirements to hold an A licence as required for the Premiership by the WRU’s National League Rules 2011/2012, and so there is a place for Pontypool within the Premiership.
