Have your say on sports and recreation

Young people and residents in Walsall are being asked what they think of the borough's open spaces, sports and recreatation facilities. The Council wants to know your views on leisure centres, parks, open areas, sports pitches and children's play areas. They want to know what you think of the local facilities and open spaces you use. They want to know of there are enough in your local area, if they offer high quality facilities, reasons why you use these or do not use them and what would you like to see in the future. This information will help to shape future plans and will be used to support decisions about improvements.
