Gateshead Borough Council have this week announced a proposal to cease maintenance of natural turf pitches within their authority boundary affecting 27 sites across the borough.

This is obviously a huge concern to Durham FA and we remain in dialogue with the council regarding this matter.

Gateshead Borough Council have provided a link for local residents to provide their views on this matter.
