One day left to have your say on sport

WHAT DO you like? What is missing? What could be done better? These are the questions Tower Hamlets Council is asking residents in a survey which closes at 5pm on Friday, 28th August.

The survey takes just five minutes to complete. The results will inform the Council as they work to ensure facilities and services meet the needs of residents.

Sport and opportunities for physical activity are a big deal in Tower Hamlets. Under Labour’s last administration, sports was little more than a couple of people taking bookings and running a couple of events. Now Tower Hamlets Council is part of Let’s Move Tower Hamlets, a programme funded by Sport England. This brings together the Council with other organisations in the borough that work in health and education, together with sports organisations themselves. They work together to try to reduce inequalities and help residents move more – which will improve their health and wellbeing.

Let’s Move Tower Hamlets is developing a new Strategy covering sports, leisure, physical activity and active wellbeing in Tower Hamlets. You have just two days, at the time of writing, to have your say. The language of the survey is a bit technical (it has a dose of Council Speke) at the start, but it changes to normal English quite soon. You do have to register with the consultation system to do the survey. This is annoying, but it does stop people packing the survey by answering several times. Once you have registered, it is quick to log in again when another consultation comes along.
