This was part of wider statement that highlighted that ‘investment would enable to this to happen’. If there is not a commitment for investment then it is not something London Sport could commit to pursue on our own. Would therefore suggest that this statement is deleted or if a commitment could be made to identify resources we would be willing to work with you to revise the pledge (I have copied in Dean Nevill who leads on this work area at London Sport)
