Chairman of Harlow Council's Environment and
Community Committee, Cllr Tony Hall said:
"Harlow has a great track record of producing
outstanding athletes and sportspeople, from World Champions
and Olympic medalists to professional footballers and these
bursaries give the next generation of potential stars the help they
need to fulfill that potential.
"Harlow Council is keen to work with agencies,
such as sport:exl, to exploit the excellent facilities and
environment available locally, to help people to get involved and
for as many people as possible to excel in sporting
activities. It is also hoped that some of the young people
receiving grants will be able to go on and represent their country
at the London 2012 Olympics".
