Proposed Playing Fields (Community Involvement in Disposal Decisions) Measure

Dai Lloyd AM has been granted leave by the Assembly to introduce a proposed Measure on the selling off of playing fields. Dr Lloyd won a ballot in December 2007 that enabled him as an Assembly Member who is not a member of the Government to introduce a proposed Assembly Measure. He now has six months to draft and introduce the proposed Measure which will seek to place a duty on local authorities to consider the impact that selling any playing fields could have on the communities around them before proceeding with a sale.
