LOCAL organisations are being invited to have their say on the future of leisure provision in south Somerset.

The Community Health & Leisure Team at South Somerset District Council is inviting local councils, clubs, organisations, schools and members of the public to have their say on a brand new Leisure, Play & Youth Strategy by attending consultation events in Chard and Yeovil.

Community health and leisure manager at the district council Lynda Pincombe said: “These evenings aim to give all of our stakeholders an opportunity to shape our new strategy and, in turn, have a say on the way we deliver leisure, sport and play.

“We are encouraging as many people as possible to attend these events so that we can identify our customers' key issues and also learn about how we can support them to achieve their individual and organisational goals.”

The consultation events will take place in the South Somerset District Council Chamber, Yeovil on Thursday, April 9 and Chard Guildhall on Thursday, April 30 Anyone wanting to attend needs to email their name, organisation and the date they would like to attend to leisure@southsomerset.gov.uk or telephone 01935 462345. Places are limited to a maximum of two representatives per organisation.
