Education minister seeking £2m for Castle Rushen High School playing fields development
Investing in school sports facilities benefits education and the Isle of Man community.
That's according to Education, Sport and Culture Minister Dr Alex Allinson ahead of a Tynwald vote seeking more than £2m to fund the construction of new playing fields at Castle Rushen High School.
If given the go-ahead, the site would include four football pitches and a cricket pitch, with completion expected by 2022.
Dr Allinson says there are wide-reaching advantages to such amenities:
Roadshow turnout shows public has 'lots of concern'
Public sector housing thresholds need changing, says MHK
Improving women's health services a 'joint effort'
Trade is good, but it's still a struggle to make a profit, says local business
