Now that the bowling club no longer use the bowling greens adjacent to the rose garden, the astro-pitch could be enlarged to cover the existing playground while the playground could be relocated to the current bowling greens.
Using the latest 4G surface, this new enlarged pitch will be much safer for players and also allow the rugby club to use the area for training rather than the very wet area at the end of the park that gets fully waterlogged for much of the winter.
Given the use of the pitch throughout the year, proper lighting should be provided to be used up to a suitable hour each day to allow for matches and training after school and work.
The provision of such a facility will help the Council's drive to net zero as the local football club currently have hundreds of children driving to Chiswick as their home ground each week.
Funding assistance from the FA and other parties to build such a facility are available and can be investigated in coordination with local sports clubs and schools.
This petition has been formed to evidence the large amount of support for such a scheme from the residents of LBHF and to call upon the Council to work with all interested stakeholders to build a leading facility for the benefit of the community of the borough.
This ePetition runs from 18/06/2024 to 18/09/2024.
