We the undersigned:

• Recognise the importance of grassroots sport to communities across Cardiff.

• Condemn Cardiff Council’s decision to dramatically increase pitch and changing-room fees.

• Believe that rises of 45% for football, 74% for baseball, 97% for rugby and 146% for cricket would be detrimental to sports participation levels across the Welsh capital.

• Observe that the hike will damage efforts to maximise the Olympic legacy in Cardiff; and is contrary to the ethos of the city’s role as 2014 European Capital of Sport.

• Recognise widespread public opposition to these proposals and call on the Council to reverse the price hike.
