Case Studies Leeds City Council - Planning improvements in leisure services membership and service take up Working in conjunction with one of our partners - PMP Consulting, ACTIVE undertook geographic analysis of the holders of membership cards for Leeds City Council. The objective was to determine the spread of members, how they reflect the preferred target groups for membership (financially disadvantaged, older people, students, etc), and the patterns of the members' use of the various facilities the Council provides. Temporal variation in use patterns was also explored to reveal which members used which facilities by time of day and day of week, and how this use pattern related to their place of work or study and their home location. The analysis fed into a strategic planning process for the development of leisure services in Leeds, supporting the case for service relocation and defining a membership recruitment programme.
