Petitions
Ice Rinks (PE1138)<br />Local Leisure Activities (PE1173)
Sports Facilities (PE1205)
Item 3 is consideration of three petitions, which deal with the continued provision of ice rinks and other local and national sports facilities. The petitions were referred to the committee late last year, and members agreed to consider the issues that they raised as part of our pathways into sport inquiry.
As part of our oral evidence taking in that inquiry, we heard from representatives of all three petitioners. I refer members to meeting paper 3, which sets out the substance of the petitions; the relevant paragraphs and recommendations in our "Pathways into sport and physical activity" report; and the response from the Scottish Government on the issue of ice rinks and other sporting facilities.
If members have no comments, are we content to close the petitions on the basis of the response from the Scottish Government on the provision of ice rinks and sports facilities?
Members indicated agreement.
