The Jamaica Star
Residents of Longville Park Housing Scheme in
Clarendon had reasons to smile on Easter Monday, as Sport Minister Olivia
'Babsy' Grange announced some improvements for the community sport programmes.
Addressing the residents at their 20th anniversary
Sports Day event, Grange said she observed the field was in need of attention.
"You are going to get all the support that I
can (give) in all the sporting disciplines that you are engaging in at
Longville Park, to ensure that your sport facilities are of a standard that
will allow you to engage in whatever you want to," she said to loud
cheers.
Grange had more good news for the community, as
she said that the multipurpose court built years ago would be renovated, and
that she would ensure the jogging trail is equipped with lights.
Grange said Longville Park is not the only
community that will get attention, as there are plans to upgrade community
facilities as well as infrastructure in schools across Jamaica, to ensure that
young people can engage in all kinds of sporting disciplines.
Grange also stressed the importance of community
sports, pointing out that it is a good tool to unite people and a good
social-intervention method.
She also used the opportunity to inform that basic
schools would soon be engaging in football competitions.
