Children and young people - Increase indoor and outdoor sports facilities
Encourage ABC to increase the provision of indoor and outdoor sports facilities as appropriate to the population in Helensburgh and its surrounding area. Refer to the HVSG submission to the draft ABC Sports Plan.
INITIATIVES
- Initiate a survey of the indoor and out door sporting needs for all age groups in the town and the surrounding area.
- Draw the Council’s attention to the need for better indoor and out door sports facilities.
- Encourage greater attention by the Council to the sharing with the community the sporting facilities at the replacement Hermitage Academy. qw
- Have designed and built a large sports hall which could accommodate indoor tennis, badminton, table tennis, keep fit, mini football e .t. c. This could be a “pay as you go” facility.
- Provide more sport and leisure facilities in Helensburgh’s housing estates for older children. Currently these are mostly play parks or areas with play equipment appropriate for pre-school age children.
