Access to Football Training Facilities.

Support is needed to develop home grown talent to increase the chances of Scotland competing for the next World Football Cup. I am aware of local football pitches being neglected and resources are needed for their upgrade.

In the last few months, I have been in discussions with residents concerned about access to football training facilities within the Woodside area.

Currently, there are two red blaes pitches within the Braid Square area which are used by children and young people to play football. However, there is a desire for a synthetic pitch to be installed as this is provided in other neighbourhoods in the city.

Working in partnership with local agencies and residents, plans will be developed for improved football facilities for the Woodside area.
