The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to support grassroots football clubs in Bexleyheath and Crayford constituency.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

In the last financial year we invested over £130,000 into grassroots sport in my Hon Friend’s constituency, including new floodlights at Danson Sports FC through the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities programme.

Our delivery partner in England, the Football Foundation, have developed Local Football Facility Plans alongside Local Authorities, including Bexley, to assess supply and demand across the country. Clubs can view their local plan by visiting the Football Foundation’s website and applications are welcome year-round.
