Sport - no-one gives a toss!

Big stuff on the menu at Boston Borough Council this evening.
The Cabinet - that collection of the great and the wood of the Bypass Independents - is looking at the Community Sports Strategy and Options Appraisal for the borough and the preferred hybrid private sector trust option for its operation.
Hopefully, this would mean the ratepayers might eventually wash their hands of the terrible financial drain that the PRSA has imposed on us all - though it looks as if if it does happen, it may not be for some time.
Frankly, we think that the majority of the borough's population cares little if at all about sports provision in the area - but someone will doubtless tell us that we are wrong.
Elsewhere, a report shows usage statistics for the PRSA.
It appears to show a decline in casual usage, and many classes with attendance rates of less than 20%
We know that the PRSA is an inherited problem, but that doesn't mean the council has to continue to support it.
It is clearly an albatross around the neck of the taxpayer, and the sooner the ancient mariners on the BBI drop it into the ocean, the better.
