Over 200 Burnham-On-Sea residents have so far taken part in an online survey about proposals to create new sports facilities at Crosses Penn next to the town’s Manor Gardens.
The Trustees of the Crosses Penn Community Sports Trust, with the support of Sedgemoor District Council, have produced an online survey outlining details of the proposals for the regeneration of the tennis courts – and time is running out to have your say.
Tennis has been played at Crosses Penn for 100 years but the current facilities need to be revitalised as they are run down, under-used and attract anti-social behaviour, says the Trust.
The Trust is keen to see the area regenerated with a new MUGA (Multi Use Games area), pictured above.
In preparation for a fundraising campaign, the Trust is seeking views and opinions via an online survey, which can be viewed at www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/crossespenn
Mike Murphy, Chair of the Trustees, pictured, says:Â “Over 200 people to date have completed the online survey. The Trustees are delighted with the mainly positive responses.”
“If you have not yet responded, we would still like to hear from you. There is still two weeks to do so (until Wednesday 16 December).”
“The Trustees value your participation in this project by completing the survey. Your responses could influence the final design of the proposed facilities and we look forward to hearing from you via the online survey.”
“Once the survey results have been analysed, we will do our best to keep you informed of progress.”
He adds: “The Trustees have worked hard on the proposals despite the limitations of COVID-19 restrictions.”
“The demonstration of community support for this project is an important tool in fundraising for the project, the next step in the process, so we hope as many people as possible will respond to this survey.”
