King George V Playing Fields 3G pitch consultation

We’re transforming King George V Playing Fields in Bloxwich. This work is part of a £25 million Town Deal programme to improve the area. Over the next year we’ll upgrade the site to create better playing fields and sports facilities.

The Green Bloxwich programme will deliver these improvements, with funding from the government’s Towns Fund.

Planned works

As part of the upgrade, we have planning permission for a 3G (third generation artificial grass) football pitch. This includes:

• goals catering for 11, 7 and 9 a-side games
• fully fenced enclosure
• floodlighting
• storage facilities

This is the start of an ongoing conversation while we develop the plans for the 3G pitch. Your responses will directly inform how we develop our operational plans – for example, access arrangements, activities and operating hours.

This consultation is now closed. 222 responses were received. Consultation findings have been used to support the development of the project and inform the funding application, with delivery of the 3G pitch being the next key milestone.
