Sport England require an up-to-date PPS to justify the protection, enhancement and provision of playing pitches. Based on an audit and assessment of the supply and demand for existing and future playing pitches, the PPS provides recommendations and an action plan for addressing issues regarding the quantity, quality and accessibility of playing pitches and ancillary facilities. Medway Council’s latest PPS was completed in October 2019 for the period 2018-35. Medway Council is inviting local clubs, national governing bodies of sport and other users and providers to review the latest PPS. More specifically, are there any matters in the latest PPS that should be updated?

None that I can think of
