Representation ID: 21220

Received: 11/11/2011

Respondent: Ticehurst Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Ticehurst is identified as having a large proportion of 0-14 year olds (20-25%), there should be more support available to them. Policy CO4 (iv) establishes a need for the provision of play areas, sport pitches and Youth facilities. The Bell Football Field is under threat and Ticehurst Parish would seek the assistance of RDC in saving the field for the community. There is a particular interest in ensuring our young people have engaging local opportunities as transport is limited to other facilities outside the parish. Ticehurst is interested in promoting schemes to assist young people to access employment.
