Plans for a MUGA at Halley Primary School have been approved by Tower Hamlets Council despite community objections regarding noise and light pollution. The area, which was established in 2022, will allow the school to rent out the facility to local residents for sporting activities. The headteacher stated that rental income is necessary due to a funding crisis in public services. The council proposed mitigation measures to address concerns, including limiting operating hours and a management plan for responsible use.
The council's strategic development committee voted in favour of the application despite numerous objections, discussing potential mitigation measures to alleviate noise and light pollution concerns.
Shoshana Thompson, the headteacher, emphasized that the school faced a funding crisis and renting the MUGA was vital to generate additional revenue for public services.
