Football Participation I recently write to the Scottish FA regarding the publication of participation figures published on their social media platforms. A section of their reply is extracted below: We note that a significant number of participants, 31,709 are attributed to community clubs, partners and stakeholders, almost 20% of the headline figure of 161,421. Can you expand on this group and provide examples of the clubs or organisations referred to i.e. name the clubs or teams. "The development of the sport has resulted in more players wanting less formal access to the game. Not everyone wants to play for a team. We have looked at different ways to ensure we can register these players for reporting, monitoring and evaluation purposes. Stakeholders such as Local Authorities, Leisure Trusts and Club Charities deliver a wide range of weekly football activity (which we support) which players patriciate in. As those stakeholders are not affiliated to an ANA, we register those players directly". Can Edinburgh Leisure please advise of the number of football players (grassroots i.e. not paid/professionals) they have registered directly with the Scottish FA as suggested above in the calendar year 2024? |

Information Request - Hall 1 Planning - Lighting Meadowbank Sports Centre I am writing to request information on the planning procedure of Hall 1 in Meadowbank Sports Centre. The reason for my request is that I believe the low lighting along courts 1-4 to be inadequate for playing racquet sports and I want to know which guidelines were followed before seeking to have it improved. Firstly, I am told that consultations were held with organisations such as Badminton Scotland with regards to the planning of the hall. I would like to know what discussions took place with all stakeholders regarding Hall 1. Particularly what role/stake they had, what EL asked of them, whether these consultations were off-site/remote or on-site, and whether they took place before, during, or after the hall was considered fit for play by them. Furthermore, I would like to know what the technical building specifications and standards specific to the hall lighting are. Specifically the number of lights which should be installed and their locations on the ceiling and what the required light intensity range is (stating minimum and maximum levels) for the hall. If this information is already in the public domain and readily accessible, I'd appreciate if you could direct me to it, but if not then please consider this a formal request for information under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002. |

War Memorial, Warrender Baths Club Good afternoon, My request is on behalf of the War Memorials Trust. (A UK organisation supported by, among others, Historic Scotland.) We maintain an online searchable database that seeks to record (in text and image) every war memorial in the UK and monitor their condition. We have an entry for Warrender Baths Club (now called Warrender Swim Centre. As the premises had been refurbished, I visited the baths on 6th December 2023 to check on the memorial and photograph it as the (attached) picture we have is poor. The staff present had no knowledge of the memorial as they were not employed there prior to the refurbishment. They emailed their manager regarding my enquiry but a couple of weeks later I had no reply and emailed her directly with a further request but, to date, there has been no response. As we would like to keep our database up to date, I would request information regarding the status of this small memorial plaque, whether it is mounted elsewhere, in storage or lost. |
