We have previously asked for your thoughts on the proposals to make sure they meet the needs of as many people as possible. We have also been talking to groups and organisations who use Eastney Community Centre, Eastney Swimming Pool and Wimbledon Park Sports Centre to help decide the right mix of facilities. Feedback from the consultation last year has been used to help shape the initial plans which will be on show for the very first time at the drop in event.
The existing Eastney Community Centre will be incorporated into the building to provide a modern flexible ecologically sound community facility and the council are working closely with Eastney Area Community Centre. Initial plans do not involve the loss of any of the existing grassed areas.
Final plans will go through the statutory planning process for a decision to be made.
We are investing in sport and leisure to strengthen our communities and support greener, healthier and happier living. Find out more about future plans and projects and sign up for the sport and leisure bulletin at
Eastney Community Centre is situated in Bransbury Park, Bransbury Road, Eastney, Portsmouth, PO4 9SU.
 The planning application for a new football hub at King George V playing fields in Cosham was recently approved. The scheme would provide a new pavilion with changing facilities, café space and toilets, as well as the Artificial Grass Pitches.
We will share more details on the plans when available.
If you run a sports club in the city and want to appeal for new members or share some positive sporting news please get in touch and we will try and include it in a future bulletin. Photos also welcomed if you have permission to use).
