Community Statement – Fleetdown United Football Club
In response to recent negative and inaccurate information posted on social media regarding planning approval, Fleetdown United Football Club would like to make the following statement.
Fleetdown United Football Club would like to take this opportunity to reassure our neighbours and local residents regarding the proposed 3G pitch on the open space.
The club has followed the appropriate and established process throughout, carefully investing members’ and sponsors’ funds to ensure that all legal, planning, environmental and technical requirements were fully met. Professional assessments were commissioned where required, including traffic analysis, and the project has been progressed in line with guidance from the relevant authorities.
As part of this process, Fleetdown held three open consultation events, including evening and weekend sessions, to provide local residents with the opportunity to view the plans given the inaccuracy of a local newspaper report, ask questions, and discuss the proposals directly with representatives of the club. These sessions were intended to be open, accessible and informative, and those who attended were able to leave with clear and accurate information about the project. Feedback received indicated a positive understanding of the proposals, including the benefits of improved site security, increased natural oversight, and the potential to reduce anti-social behaviour in and around the open space.
Fleetdown United Football Club has always welcomed its neighbours, the wider Dartford community and remains committed to being an inclusive, community-focused organisation. We will continue to engage positively with residents and stakeholders, and we remain focused on delivering facilities that support local children, families, education sector, NHS, volunteers and the wider community in a respectful and responsible way.

Fleetdown are actively looking to increase the number of teams in girls football within the club and will be using these sessions as a pathway to creating those teams.
If you are looking for a sport with a team environment and a club with a family atmosphere then look no further.
If you would just prefer to train in a girls only environment then that’s fine as well.
All are welcome at Fleetdown’s Wildcats Centre.
Our highly experienced coaches from Fleetdown and New Generation Sports will coach girls from the ages of 5 to 11 with a view to incorporating the girls into a team within the Kent Girls & Ladies Football League.

Fleetdown Partners with KSS Air Ambulance Charity
KSS is an independent lifesaving charity. It costs £20.4M a year or £56K per day to operate our world-leading, lifesaving service with 88% of our total income raised through the incredible generosity of our supporters and 10% through NHS commissioning funds. The remaining 2% is made up of a range of things including income on our investments.
Cost per mission:
The average cost of a mission is £4K. This cost includes our dispatchers, medics and pilots, fuel for our helicopter or Rapid Response Vehicle (RRV), equipment and helicopter maintenance, medicines and disposable medical supplies. This is the average cost for a mission in our helicopters or Rapid Response Vehicles (RRVs). If asked, 73p in every £1 is spent directly on providing care to the most critically ill and injured people in the region. The remainder ensures we have the appropriate infrastructure to support the delivery of our service while also enabling us to generate further funds and support those fundraising on our behalf.
Fleetdown Partners with Her Game Too
Fleetdown United Football Club is very proud and excited to announce that we are now partnering with #HerGameToo.
Her Game Too is a group of female supporters who are passionate about football and working very hard to eradicate sexism in the football industry. We want women and girls of all ages to feel confident and safe sharing their opinion about football, both online and in real life, without fear of sexist abuse.
We’re very excited to see how our partnership develops.
