## Description

This project is for the enhancement and extension of the existing Sunnyside Lane Changing Rooms\. The changing rooms are based at Sunnyside Playing Fields, Yate \. Yate Town Council is both the owner and project actioner\. Developing Sunnyside changing facilities is part of our wider vision, for improving opportunities to engage in sport and physical activity within the yate area\. By providing greater capacity and improved facilities, this will make the Sunnyside Football pitches and tennis courts available for more people to use\. The enhancement will provide an increase in physical capacity and offer the opportunity for mixed groups to use the changing rooms at the same time\. The enhancements will also make the changing rooms accessible to members of the community with restricted mobility, thus allowing a more diverse range of users to enjoy the facility\. The existing facilities are always booked to capacity use during the football season\. We turn away booking enquiries due to not having enough changing room capacity \(we have 4 pitches - but only 6 changing rooms\)\. These enhancements would allow for another game to be played alongside the existing games on Saturdays and Sundays during the football season \(so two more games across the weekend\)\. This shows a clear need for more capacity\. Outside of the football season, there is evidence 3G pitch/es would allow year-round use for things like children's parties and 5-a-side games, as well as previously unexplored avenues like hockey practice\. The addition of 3G pitch/es is something which Yate Town Council aspire to provide in the future\. The improved changing and toilet facilities will also be popular with the users of the tennis courts too\. More changing facilities is often requested by the various tennis clubs who use our facility, and would further increase the usage of this facility too\. The purpose of the project is to develop an oversubscribed existing community sports changing facility, to increase capacity for existing and future users of Sunnyside football pitches and Sunnyside Pavilion \(Bowls and Tennis Club\)\.
