The committee will hear that the masterplan for Dawson Park is reviewed and updated incorporating the feedback from this consultation exercise.

Neighbourhood services convener Councillor Kevin Cordell said: "This is an investment that will allow many people to benefit from a surface that is designed for multi-sports use.

"I would like to thank the sports clubs and organisations who have helped to shape these recommendations. Their input has been vital and has proved, yet again, that there are strong and enthusiastic sports communities across this city.

"In light of their ideas and input, I think it is important that we look again at the masterplan for Dawson Park. This will help us shape the future for this popular park, which is popular for a wide range of activities."

The neighbourhood services committee meets on Monday 03 June.
