Chichester Hockey Club Astro support
The hockey community in Chichester is at a critical juncture. With more than 600 members, ranging from enthusiastic juniors to dedicated lifetime players, our local hockey scene has been a cornerstone of athletic excellence and community spirit for decades. We are passionate about this sport, but more importantly, we are passionate about preserving tradition and fostering new generations of hockey players.
Currently, the three local hockey clubs that have been the heart of hockey in the area are facing the devastating loss of our pitch facilities. This loss not only threatens the future of hockey in Chichester but also goes against the very principles outlined in the Chichester District Council's Local Plan. The plan clearly mandates the prevention of a net loss of playing-pitch provision, with a commitment to replace or expand these facilities through S106/CIL funding mechanisms.
