Question
to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what fiscal plans he has to support the building of new integrated community services.
Answered by Tracey Crouch
We have received representations on the Wellness Hub proposal from Sport England and ukactive and are working with both organisations to understand the implications of the proposal and how best to take this forward.
As set out in its Sporting Future strategy, government is committed to investing in facilities that are designed and built around customer need and that reflect people's preferences for how they want to engage with sport and physical activity. The strategy is clear that Sport England investment in major sports and physical activity facility projects should include a presumption in favour of co-locating sports and physical activity facilities with other types of community facilities to make it easier for people to get active.
