EIGHT MONTHS after Minister of Sports Stephen Lashley warned supervisory staff and employees of the National Sports Council (NSC) that it was time to “work for their pay”, and ensure remedial work was done on dilapidated sporting facilities across the island, little to no work has been done.

Lashley’s comments during a tour after a two-part series in the SUNDAY SUN editions of January 10 and 16 highlighted the deteriorating condition of the facilities.

Last Thursday,  SUNSPORT team revisited the sporting facilities highlighted in the January 10 edition, to determine what work and improvements had been done.

While they were impressed by the refurbishment of the hard courts at Holder’s Hill, St James, the same could not be said about the other four venues. Little to no work has been done at these facilities. (RA)
