th<\/sup> July I met with Councillor Stephens from the Local Government Association and I am always open to engaging with local authority representatives on this important subject. Local authorities have a very important role in ensuring people from all backgrounds are able to participate in sport. They own or manage a large amount of sporting infrastructure in the country and have a responsibility to make sure that facilities and infrastructure are available and accessible. The Government, through Sport England, works closely with a wide range of local authorities, providing expert advice and funding to sustain and increase the number of people playing sport regularly.<\/p>"}

The Framework also provides strong protection for open space.

The Framework enables local communities to identify green areas of particular importance to them for special protection by designating them as Local Green Space, through the preparation of local and neighbourhood plans.<\/p>"}

Upon completion of these works, all the contractual train services between Manchester and Preston via Bolton will be reinstated. In the longer term, electrification of the Manchester-Preston line will enable future operators to use longer electric trains to provide additional capacity between Bolton and Manchester.<\/p>
