Football Pitch

Back to the serious stuff....
... and to the proposed care home next to the doctors' surgery - which would be on top of the junior football pitch. The existence of a 90 bed care home would also influence the future of Bronllys Hospital.
123 children use the football pitch - but it's not just the local kids who benefit from it; Hay is the only place with enough football pitches to host local tournaments at the moment. Around 400 children came to the last one, in June. HDCSA, who own the pitches and have signed an option agreement allowing them to sell to developers within the next twelve months, say that the football pitch would be replaced - but it couldn't be next to the existing pitches and sports facilities.
Last weekend there was a protest march through Hay, attended by around 100 people, including members of the junior and senior football clubs.
