This week the SDLP in
Strabane has welcomed the works being carried out to upgrade Melvin Sports
Complex.
West Tyrone SDLP MLA Joe Byrne said “It is fantastic to see
the planned upgrade of Melvin Hall well underway and will give the people of
Strabane a Sports Complex for the 21st century. It is well known
that many people in Strabane enjoy their sport whether on a competitive or
leisurely level and this upgrade will allow everyone to enjoy a first class
sporting experience.”
“Sport is a great way to bring communities together in the
spirit of good sportsmanship. Furthermore with young people having places like
Melvin Hall to spend their free time it can lower rates of anti-social
behaviour being carried out in the area.”
“Sport is a great way to elevate stress and allow people to get exercise which helps stem obesity. There are many more reasons why this is a great positive step for Strabane, and the SDLP will continue to lobby for more funds to be invested in our local leisure centres. We also aim to ensure that money will be invested in other past-time activities and hobbies outside of sport for all to enjoy.”
