Retaining community sporting facilities in the east of the Island is "very important".
That's according to the Policy and Reform Minister who says work is ongoing to better understand sport and leisure requirements.

He said he was concerned a new draft plan appears to include the conversion of sports grounds for residential or employment purposes.
Mr Thomas said everything is it a very early stage:
