Having the Olympics in Great Britain is amazing sporting experience but what am keen to see next is an Olympic legacy to spur on the next generation of Athletes, in particular I would like to see an improvement in the sporting provision in Stafford.
Clearly in Stafford we will never get something as good as the velodrome, but I would love to see Staffordshire County Council and the Borough Council build some new sporting venues and give some investment to our local sporting clubs and Sporting venues such as Rowley Park. I do believe that for too long the Borough Council has under used and poorly managed Rowley Park especially when you compare it to what has been achieved at a very short time at Stafford Town and Stafford Cricket Club.
I dont want to get embroiled in past mistakes made by the Council i.e losing our Diving pool and building a football pitch on what is supposed to be an athletic venue. Why Rowley Park was cited for an all weather football pitch is beyond me, clearly it would of been better located near to Stafford Town, Stafford Rangers or Brocton FC so our football clubs could make use of it leaving Rowley Park to become a centre of Athletic excellence.
