The future of a South Oxhey football pitch has been thrown to doubt after it closed 'for the foreseeable future'.
The future of a South Oxhey football pitch has been thrown into doubt after the district council declined to confirm if it will ever open again.
It comes amid health and safety concerns due to the “deterioration of the surface”, which is understood to be down to wear and tear, as well as some vandalism.“No long-term decisions on the pitch have yet been made,” the spokesperson added. “Everyone Active, which manages this site and others on behalf of the council, will continue to work with the council and support users in finding suitable alternative pitches for their activities where possible.
The pitch is used by local team Oxhey Jets FC for its youth teams and training, and founder John Elliott said the closure will have a “huge impact” on the club.They will now need to find a new training ground, which will require equipment to be transported across and players to travel more.
