The UK Government is investing in new cricket domes in Luton and Lancashire, offering weather-proof facilities for schools and local clubs. The aim is to encourage year‑round participation and nurture the next generation of talent.
The domes are part of a wider sports‑infrastructure programme, with investment flowing into under‑served areas to broaden access and community health outcomes.
Why it matters: The move underscores a broader push for sport as preventative health — and complements London’s expansion of outdoor dining and active‑lifestyle initiatives.
