Government to review local authority fees for grassroot football

Petition Details

We believe grassroots football is a vital pillar of British life. It is fun, builds essential physical fitness, and acts as a lifeline for the nation’s mental health, preventing thousands of cases of depression annually.

Additional Information

We want a reasonable pitch fee to be the standard across the county that is affordable to everyone.

However, we feel that extortionate pitch hire fees from local councils are pricing us out. In some regions, costs have jumped 130%, making the "people’s game" a luxury. We urge the Government to review and consider regulating these costs to protect these community hubs before more clubs are forced to fold.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
