Question
What is the Minister doing to improve and enhance sporting facilities in Brecon and Radnorshire?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip
The Welsh Government has committed £24m in capital funding over the next three years (2022-25) to Sport Wales to develop facilities across Wales. Investing in sporting facilities, both elite and grassroots, is a commitment in our Programme for Government, highlighting the important link between increasing participation and the health and wellbeing of our nation.
In 2021-22 Sport Wales supported 37 projects across Powys with a total investment of £113,508 through the Be Active Wales Fund. This is in addition to funding of £161,398 for capital projects such as the new Pump Track near Talybont-on-Usk and the resurfacing of tennis courts in Builth Wells.
