Worgret Road Playing Fields Consultation

The area currently has two football pitches (which were occasionally used by Purbeck School), a small wooden hut and fields for general use. This green space is also next to the old Middle School site, which is being developed into housing and health care facilities by Dorset Council and partners over the next few years.

The scheme is called Purbeck Gateway.

We want to maximise every aspect of the Purbeck Gateway site and neighbouring green space, so it improves the health and wellbeing of the local community. It may mean we build new facilities or improve the current facilities already there.

We are interested to find out:

• how local people use this space
• what local residents would like to see it being used for
• which groups would potentially like to use it and run events/sessions

The playing fields will stay as a recreational facility and cannot be sold off for an alternative use. Please bear in mind when answering questions that this consultation is about the playing fields next to the Westgate housing development, not the recreation ground.
