New Petitions
Community Sports Clubs (PE868)
The Executive would have to become involved, as a change to the existing legislation would be required. Sportscotland and the National Playing Fields Association Scotland have a view on the loss or potential loss of sports facilities and I think that we should write to them. By definition, the facilities do not belong to local authorities, but it might also be useful to write to COSLA and seek its view.
