Milton Keynes Council is making decisions about its
2012/13 budget to decide how best to fund and shape the services it delivers to
you, and which support the communities that live, work and learn in
One of the proposals, which affects the grant that we
obtain from the council (£12,800 in 2011/12), is proposal S56:
Arts
Grant aid, Sports Development and Wider Use - 6% reduction per year in
partnership and grant funding; including Bucks and Milton Keynes Sports
Partnership, Sport:MK and Milton
Keynes Athletics Club.
This does represent a considerable
improvement on the proposal last year that our grant be cut by half in 2012/13
and disappear altogether in 2013/14.
Could I ask you to spend 5 minutes
filling in the questionnaire on the MKC website at
http://www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/mkcconsultationdetails/?ConsultationID=184
by saying something like.
We support proposal S56 as we enjoy
taking part in athletics and the continued support for Marshall Milton Keynes
Athletic Club is vital to help with the considerable costs of managing and
maintaining Stantonbury Athletics Stadium.
