Abstract/Contents: | Discusses whether local governments should fund sports facilities, and "details how organisations [organizations] such as the STRI [Sports Turf Research Institute] can be of assistance in reshaping the conventional model." Overviews reduction of maintenance costs, bench-marking exercises, contracting out maintenance jobs, leasing sports facilities in order to make money, and other cost-saving tips. Concludes that "there are often other ways to reduce the cost to the Local Authority providing services which would not necessarily lead to immediate redundancies." |
