Wellington City Council is set to cut $650,000 of social and recreation funding, impacting community services and locations like swimming pools, library, arts and culture events and sports fields.

Capital Football CEO Richard Reid is concerned more costs will be put on local families if the cuts go ahead. 

Reid also suggests payments to the Wellington council from using sports fields is much more than other NZ cities.

He says someone has got their facts wrong "and it ain't us".
