Leicester City Council in partnership with The Leicestershire And Rutland County Football Association,The Football Foundation and the National FA would like to hear your views on their proposal to develop new football facilities at various strategic sites across the city.

 

The public consultation "drop in sessions" will provide the opportunity to view drawings and talk to individuals from both the Leicestershire & Rutland County Football Association and the National FA.

 

Mark Laywood, Sports Project Manager Leicester City Council, said "A recent local study identified that in Leicester fewer than 1 in 10 boys in the city play organised football, half the national average and for girls only 1 in every 250 take part. It also highlighted the lack of good quality provision and pitches.

 

This £12.5 million strategic investment plan aims to reverse this worrying trend by opening pathways to progression and increasing participation levels throughout the city"
