Mettmann's sports clubs in danger: City sports association demands planning security!
In Mettmann it's all about planning security in sport at the moment. The city sports association has spoken out and demands that the sports clubs do not have to remain in the dark. An urgent appeal points out that an impending increase in sports facility fees could have consequences that threaten the existence of many clubs. The use of the hall in the manor house is already paid for by the clubs, and clear and reliable framework conditions are necessary to ensure that the financial burden does not increase any further. This shows that the future of sports clubs in the region is in jeopardy if solutions are not found soon.
The background is clear: the clubs are in a tense situation in which rising costs and financial uncertainty make their daily work more difficult. An adaptable and reliable plan could be a rock in the surf here. The sports association is not warning without reason, because in times when many clubs are already fighting for their existence, planning security cannot be left behind.
Funding opportunities for sport
But time is of the essence: clubs must submit their proof of use to NRW.BANK by June 30, 2027 at the latest in order to be able to access the funding. Information on this is available from the responsible district or city sports associations. This could be valuable support, especially for the Mettmann clubs that are already suffering from the effects of rising costs.
The call for planning security is therefore not just a cry for help. It also shows that it is time to set the course for a better sporting future. If the sports clubs in Mettmann and the surrounding area want to remain active, both the city administration and the sports associations must pull together and develop solutions. The general conditions must be right so that sport in the region not only survives, but also thrives.
