Extra Time Needed for Sport Fund
Sat, Mar 27th 2004
Gordon Carson writes this article in "Children Now" in February 2004. When the Government announced that the NOF for PE and Sport programme was to allocate £75m of Lottery money to create a positive change in the sports facilities available for young people, there seems to have been hope that these changes would have been speedily implemented. However, only £8.5m from the fund has actually been spent to date. There are reports that communication between the different organisations and the planning permission system were two of the reasons that the fund was taking time to infiltrate the system. This appears to have led to a degree of frustration. However, some schools are already starting to benefit, and some who are involved are content that these large amounts of money are taking some time to be allocated and the projects implemented.
