  leisure, how will this support local employment
  opportunities and other progression?
• Could students access other local facilities for
  recreational use and college competition?
• Could a partnership be developed with the local
  authority, HE, clubs, CSP, NGBs and other
  providers to establish the best mix of sports
  facilities to compliment existing local
  provision?
• Could other investment support the community/club
  activities element of the facilities provision?
• Could the LSC investment in sport be housed on
  existing local sports facilities?
