SPORT Youth Sport Trust launches manifesto
Te Youth Sport Trust (YST) has launched its manifesto for PE and school sport ahead of the 2015 general election, hoping that it will be used as a blueprint by the new government to improve the lives of young people. The manifesto identifies
three key areas and asks for a joined-up, cross departmental approach to PE and physical activity by the education, health and sport sectors. Called Unlocking Potential,
the manifesto calls for: • More time for higher
Te manifesto calls for a joined up approach to school sport and PE
quality PE; to ensure all young people are phys- ically literate and can move confidently. • Physical activity opportunities embedded
into every school day; to ensure every child has the opportunity to live a healthy, active lifestyle. • Sustained competitive school sport; to
ensure sport is at the heart of young lives. Launching the manifesto at a special recep-
tion at the House of Lords today, YST chair Baroness Campbell described current physical inactivity levels of young people as ‘bleak and worrying’ and said the manifesto will set
out where action is required by any future government to tackle the issue. She said: “Reversing the growing levels of
physical inactivity amongst young people is a seismic challenge. With one in three children leaving primary school obese or overweight, and less than one in five meeting the minimum recommended guidelines for physical activity, it is a bleak and worrying picture.” To download and retrieve the full man-

Te proposed stadium would form part of a £135m mixed-use project
Wheldon Road stadium – also called Te Jungle – can only be currently used on match days and the club is losing revenue as it is unable to host functions and community events throughout the year. “We use the gound 13 times a year and we’re
struggling year in, year out.” Gill said in an interview with Sky Sports. “To keep on growing we need a ground that is going to be fully func- tional for 365 days of the year.” Te club first announced proposals to build a new stadium

in 2009 – with an initial opening date sched- uled for 2011 – but plans have been repeatedly delayed by planning and funding issues. Te club has unveiled designs for a new 10,000-capacity stadium in Glasshoughton, as part of a £135m project proposed by devel- opers Lateral Property Group (LPG). A special planning meeting is to be held in Wakefield on 6 February, when councillors will consider the application. Details:
