Community Employment Schemes: Motion.
Jobstown, a deprived area which has recently gone through an economic transformation, has a wonderful new flood-lit soccer pitch. Unfortunately we have no one to run the facility or to secure it. Joy riding and other anti-social activities take place there every night because we have no one to secure the site or to organise teams and run the facility. The Government has invested capital funding in building up the capacity of sports clubs and community centres but if it reduces community employment places no one will be available to run them.
