Identifies all known forms of play provision across East Suffolk. The Strategy includes an assessment of the quality and value of all sites, and identifies localised gaps and shortfalls in types of provision. The Strategy will help ensure that a planned approach to play provision takes place in East Suffolk, ensuring that communities have access to high quality, inclusive play facilities to support their health and wellbeing. |

East Suffolk Council commissioned Knight, Kavanagh and Page Ltd (KKP) as consultants in 2020 to support the development of the first East Suffolk Council Leisure Strategy, incorporating a suite of strategies, namely the Indoor and Built Facilities Strategy, Playing Pitch and Outdoor Sport Strategy and Open Space and Play Strategy, to provide an up-to-date evidence base and to help inform future decision-making processes.
The Leisure Strategy and supporting documents do not apportion direct responsibility for specific recommendations and actions to single organisations. Rather it takes more of a matrix approach with some instances, actions being council-led but supported by external stakeholders, whereas in others they will be led by local clubs and organisations in partnership with their respective national governing bodies of sport and where the council has no specific role to play.
