Elected Mayor's green paper for sport and physical activity

 

 

Sport has always been important to the people of Stoke-on-Trent but the numbers taking part in sport in the city is low compared to other areas. A recent survey indicated that people in Stoke-on-Trent are amongst the least active in England with only 15% of adults doing the recommended amount of sport and physical activity.

 

 

The primary objective of the green paper is to help everyone to take part in sport and physical activity so they can enjoy being healthier. We want to make Stoke-on-Trent a ‘City of Sport’.  This green paper outlines plans to develop sport and physical activity up to 2016 to:

• get 30% of local people aged 16 or over to be physically active for at least 30
  minutes five times a week by 2012;
• get 22% of local people aged 16 or over taking part in sport and active
  recreation for at least 30 minutes, three times a week by 2012; and
• get young people to take part in sport and physical activity to reduce the
  numbers of children who are obese.
