Belfast Council has commissioned an “action plan” to increase the number of playing pitches throughout the city for amateur league games.
At the council’s recent monthly meeting of the Strategic Policy and Resources Committee (January 21st), a motion forwarded by the DUP to bring council pitches up to “match day” standard gained cross party support.
The motion states: “There is a constant complaint from both clubs and individuals regarding the shortage of playing pitches in Belfast. However, there are also a number of sites, under council ownership, which could be better utilised to address this issue.
