I was pleased to drop in to Merton Council’s launch of their “Becoming a Borough of Sport” initiative in Parliament.
It was great to hear about their mission to ensure everyone in Merton has the opportunity to be active, and how this approach has become widely recognised locally. The initiative is already helping to increase activity levels among both adults and children, bringing clear benefits for physical and mental wellbeing.
I hope strategies like this can be replicated by other councils.
