10. Request to make a small Football Pitch for 2015/16 Football Season
The Football Club have asked for permission to add a small 5 v 5 pitch adjacent to the one used by permission of Greenfylde school as it has been highlighted by the league that the Greenfylde pitch is too big.
The pitch will be roughly 27m x 37m and the goals set out up and taken down after every game so white lining would be used to mark it out. It would only be for 2015/16 as the Football club intend on putting this pitch in Britten’s Field when they move.
