SDC should obtain commuted sums from developers of new housing to provide for their future maintenance. The use of Management Companies to maintain new open spaces should be discontinued.
The Council should ensure that all new open spaces are well designed and constructed by developers with suitable equipment and materials. Sports pitches should be required to be laid out to national standards to ensure that they are suitable for play by local clubs. There are many examples of new open spaces and pitches being left with uneven surfaces full of rubble and building materials and thus being unsuitable for use.
