Praise for sports group

An initiative that encourages young people to get involved in sport has been praised by a city councillor.

Open All Hours is a collaboration between the city council and Edinburgh Leisure, as it celebrates its tenth anniversary.

Labour councillor Cammy Day has tabled a motion saying that the initiative has enjoyed ten years of “successful intervention enabling young people to take part in activities promoting active lifestyles”.

He also requests that Lord Provost George Grubb “marks the occasion in a suitable way”.
