As someone involved in school and community sport the threat to any playing field is hugely concerning.It would appear somewhat contradictory of councils and government to on one hand enthuse about the positive impact of sport on both children's and adults' health whilst potentially allowing the removal of the very areas where this might take place.Granted ,this green space is not being lost completely but the knock on effect of reducing the number of pitches would restrict access to community users and end the historical club connection of Old Salesians FC which over the years has given otherwise unavailable opportunity to young men from Battersea.

Such a valid point. The government bang on about sport but at the same time have a policy that seems to encourage the sales of playing facilities.
