MP's visit to "smash hit" Aston school

ROTHER Valley MP Kevin Barron will be visiting a "smash hit" of a project at Aston Comprehensive School tomorrow.

He will sample the results of an £58.8 million Big Lottery Fund investment into school and community sports facilities in Yorkshire and the Humber.

The MP will be joining staff and pupils for a game of badminton at the school's Lottery-funded sports centre to celebrate the success of the Big Lottery Fund's New Opportunities for PE and Sport programme.

More than 156 sports facilities across Yorkshire and the Humber have benefited from such funding, offering a wide range of activities from trampolining to archery and football to cricket.
