Question
What action is the Welsh Government taking to improve access to sporting facilities in North Wales?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip
Investing in sporting facilities, both elite and grassroots, is a significant element of our Programme for Government, highlighting the important link between increasing participation and the health and wellbeing of our nation. We have committed £24m in capital funding over the next 3 years to Sport Wales to develop new facilities across Wales.
The recent establishment of the regional partnership, ‘Sport North Wales’ will enable delivery of community sport and activity as set out by Sport Wales who will collaborate locally to create a holistic approach, generating a wider cross section of societal impacts.
Access to sporting facilities is the responsibility of the relevant public or private providers through their operational and management arrangements.
