Sport is central to our national identity, and it remains as important as ever that the Government finds ways to boost the presence of grassroots sports activities and facilities across the nation, including right here in Scunthorpe.
This is why it's so great to see that over £1.9mn of funding has been provided to grassroots sports facilities in Scunthorpe! This has gone to a variety of groups and facilities in our area, including Messingham Recreation Ground, John Leggott College and Bottesford Town FC.
Funding such as this helps in fostering great community spirit in areas such as ours, giving residents sporting opportunities that inspire future generations and promoting healthy lifestyles. I look forward to seeing this continue!
