Leisure facilities strategy

The aims of our leisure facilities strategy are to:

encourage new and inactive participants to start taking part in physical activity
maintain and increase levels of regular physical activity amongst existing participants
develop additional facility provision, working in partnership with other organisations where opportunities arise or where need is evidenced, for example as a result of population growth
design in flexibility; future facility provision may need to be more multi-purpose in nature, reflecting changing participation trends, the need for sustainability and value for money
continue to enable opportunities for participation to be provided in a wider range of places and spaces, and particularly at a very local level, using for example community facilities
facilitate the continued development of healthier lifestyles across Elmbridge’s communities
contribute to a reduction in health inequalities, and specifically reduced obesity and inactivity across Elmbridge
create active environments where the opportunity to be more physically active is an integral part of everyday life
support and provide opportunities for local sports and leisure community groups
