Petition for community transfer for Plains football pitches to the people of Plains
We are petitioning the council with support of the villagers in Plains to complete a community assets transfer of the Plains football pitches to the people of Plains and to Plains football academy to allow us to press on with the necessary upgrade of facilities and carry out the necessary work ourselves.
Why is this important?
While other areas have seen older sports & leisure facilities replaced by new modern ones, Plains has seen no such regeneration in this sense.
Our playing fields have been abandoned by the local authorities, the pavilion & changing rooms demolished over a decade ago with no thought of a replacement, the janlin centre replaced by a rarely used garden & a dilapidated community welfare hall which other than for elections has been rarely used also.
Stripping working class communities bare of all recreational facilities & then people wonder why there’s so much deprivation & hopelessness in areas like this.
We hope everyone can get behind this campaign and we thank you all for your continued support.
