    The Cool Down: The future of States sports facilities

    More active, more often is a philosophy that has States backing, but is it doing all it can to make that happen?

    With a background of new publicly funded sports facilities being put on the backburner and funding pressures on a programme that broadens opportunities, Nick Mann talks to the Guernsey Sports Commission director of communications Nicky Will about recommendations it made for improvements in 2021 that are still outstanding and what the future could hold for Beau Sejour.

    They begin by discussing that review of sports facilities that prompted it calling for change.
