Two gov't departments will look at 'regional sports hubs' concept
A Rushen MHK says local authority involvement in running regional pools and sports facilities remains crucial.
Tynwald has agreed that the DESC and DOI will work on a plan to develop 'regional sports hubs' incorporating swimming and other sports activities.
Both departments will report back to Tynwald in October on how this initiative could work.
Michelle Haywood hopes more central funding could be made available and people on the ground should still play an important role:
