Report of the Cabinet Member for Leisure and Culture on the adoption of the Sport and Physical Activity Strategy

Additional documents:

Decision:

            RESOVED

 

            That the Sport and Physical Activity Strategy be approved as set out in the report.

 

            REASON

 

            The Horsham District Planning Framework plans for the delivery of 16,000 new homes between 2011 and 2031 and, although pressure on public finance is unlikely to abate during this period, the framework brings opportunities to secure and deliver new sports infrastructure. Given these factors, it is important that the Council has a clear vision of its sport and physical activity priorities and how these can be achieved.

Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Leisure and Culture reported that a Horsham District Council Strategy for Sport and Physical Activity had been produced which framed the Council’s priorities for Sport and Physical Activity for the period up to 2031 within five work strands, with a simple overall aim which was ‘To increase participation in sport and physical activity and improve the health and wellbeing of people living, working or visiting the Horsham District’.

 

The strategy highlighted current priorities, actions and measures through which the successful delivery of the strategy could be measured and identified additional work being undertaken to refine future requirements for pitches and facilities.

 

The Leisure and Culture Policy Development Advisory Group supported the proposal.
