Sports Development sits within the Cultural Services Department under Community Services, and as our name suggests we are responsible for developing sport, and physical activity, in Darlington. The team currently has seven members, six full-time and one part-time, with each member of the team having an important role to play in ensuring we achieve our aims and objectives set out in our team plan.
