Sports stars fear disappearance of playing fields amid reforms

In response to proposed planning reforms, a number of leading sports stars and governing bodies have expressed concerns that playing fields could be constructed and lost across England.

Former Lioness Jill Scott, Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah, and Alex Yee are among those who signed an open letter declaring their concern about the potential removal of statutory protections for the facilities.

The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) and the Football Association (FA), the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the Rugby Football Union (RFU), and the Football Association (FA) signed off.

The government is considering revoke Sport England’s right to consult before building a playing field.

By 2029, ministers intend to complete a plan to speed up planning decisions in order to build 1.5 million new homes in England.

The signatories continued, “Playing fields are irreplaceable, and Sport England’s statutory consultee role is an important line of defense,” despite the consultation being underway.

Weakening this protection, at a time when demand is increasing and participation is growing, could lead to the destruction of the very spaces that support grassroots sport and physical activity.

Sport England declined to comment, but this month claimed it protected more than a thousand playing fields nationwide last year. After a total of 10,000 playing fields were lost in the 1980s and early 1990s, it has been asked to be consulted on planning decisions for the past 30 years.

Fields in Trust, a nonprofit that works with neighborhood leaders and communities to prevent development, wrote the letter.

Former midfielder Scott, the company’s president, said: “It has been very personal for me to bring together so many people for this letter. These very spaces are at risk of being lost to too many communities. I urge the government to pay close attention. We don’t want the impossible to happen. For the generations to come after us, we’re asking them to preserve what already exists.

The signatories, which also include Eilish McColgan, Sir Matthew Pinsent, Tessa Sanderson, and Parkrun’s leaders, are urging ministers to “make sure that any planning reforms retain a meaningful mechanism to protect playing fields and sports facilities for upcoming generations.”

“Social justice is the topic here. The most limited access is often the one who needs green space the most. Without these safeguards, communities’ well-being and health would suffer.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport stated that “we are proposing to keep playing fields, and we are investing £400 million into grassroots sport.”

No decision will be made until the consultation’s conclusions are fully considered, according to BBC Sport. The Gardens Trust and the Theatres Trust will no longer serve as statutory consultees, as does Sport England, which is anticipated to reduce more than 3, 000 consultations annually.

To fulfill its pledge to construct 1.5 million new homes in England by 2029, the government announced this month that housebuilding will need to explode.

Builders have warned that the government will miss its goal, which has fallen from 207 000 to 139 000 after Labour took office, the lowest level since the Covid-19 pandemic.

Women in Sport stated last week that it was inappropriate to “put our playing fields and pitches in danger.”

Any resurgence of this space would be at a critical time, preventing more women and girls from competing and thwarting the development of one of the UK’s biggest success stories.

A petition urging members to support Sport England’s status as a statutory consultee for planning applications is one of several sports bodies.

The Kansas City Chiefs will travel to a new stadium in the state of Kansas from where they reside.

In a statement, the Chiefs announced that they would relocate to Wyandotte County, which is west of Kansas City in the state’s border, where a new $3.2 billion (£2.25 billion) stadium will be constructed in time for the 2031 season.

The Chiefs have played at Arrowhead Stadium since 1972, but they will change after Kansas’s legislatures approve.

According to Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt, “Today is an extraordinary day in the history of the Kansas City Chiefs.”

“We are thrilled to work with the State of Kansas to provide our fans with a top-notch stadium. This project adds to our fan-first philosophy and innovation legacy.

In Kansas, the project will also include the addition of a new Chiefs’ team headquarters and training facility.

Leona Lewis announces first album in over 10 years as she’s forced to cancel shows

https://i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk/incoming/article36444086.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/1_NV-Formula-1-Red-Carpet-during-the-Las-Vegas-Grand-Prix.jpg

After working hard in the studio for several years, Leona Lewis OBE has confirmed that she will be releasing her first album in more than ten years.

Leona Lewis OBE has shared huge career news. The singer, who found fame after winning The X Factor almost two decades ago, is no stranger to musical success, having broken a world record with her debut single, A Moment Like This, in 2006.

She hasn’t released any music in recent years, with her most recent album, I Am, which came out in September 2015. The 40-year-old songstress is now preparing for her first album in more than ten years.

Currently, the singer is embarking on her Christmas-themed Las Vegas residency, performing her own hits from her Christmas album, as well as her hits, including Run, Bleeding Love and her festive anthem, One More Sleep. Now, she’s opened up about her upcoming album, which she has spent years working on behind the scenes.

However, Leona is said to be doing everything herself, despite having the biggest names in music backing them and having the opportunity to work with renowned producers. She also writes, produces, and performs the instruments herself.

She explained that she has actually been inside and outside the studio for a while. Leona continued, “It’s been a real labor of love, and I’m planning to share music next year,” in a statement to The Sun.

Leona claimed earlier this year that she was “new to the game” and would take on every role in her new role. However, this gave her complete creative control over the recording. It implies that it is very unfiltered. She said, “It’s very raw.” Prior to the birth of her daughter, Leona continued, “doing not understand the depth of love.”

She self-taught herself to play the bass and guitar after becoming well-known for her powerful voice. She responded, “It’s so satisfying.” However, Leona has been heartbroken recently as she prepares for the new album. She has been forced to sever concerts while performing in Sin City due to illness.

On Saturday, the singer told fans she was forced to cancel due to doctors’ orders, hours before she was due to be on stage. The devastated singer told fans: “To my lovely fans, I’m heartbroken to share that I will not be able to perform tomorrow night’s show (Dec 20). I have been battling a sore throat for the past few days, and while I tried pushing through tonight’s show, it has only left me feeling worse.”

She continued, “I’ll be spending this time recovering and taking vocal rest so I can come back stronger and give you everything you deserve.” I regret regretting the decisions that were made for those who had planned to attend. I appreciate your understanding, compassion, and patience. I’m so appreciative of everyone who consistently shows up for me, and I cherish each one of you. You’ll return under the stars very soon, I promise.

She also announced something similar on Sunday, though. Leona addressed the fans by saying, “To those who are planning to join me tonight. I’m devastated to announce that tonight’s show (Dec. 21) will not be able to perform another challenging update. I had high hopes that I would be able to give a performance, but sadly, I’m still not well enough to perform.

To fully recover and safeguard my voice, I’m going to rest and continue to follow medical advice. I’m reportedly set to be cleared to perform by Christmas Eve, so reassure yourself that I’m doing everything in my power to prevent that. He has more value from you than I can give thanks for your kind words and well wishes. I’m forever grateful to have the most devoted and compassionate fans. I’m eager to return with you all soon and spend some quality time together. My utter love, Leona.

Leona was given the news that she had Hashimoto’s disease in 2017 and that she was incredibly exhausted and in pain as a result. Her Wednesday concert is anticipated to go as planned. Olivia Newton-John’s seven-song career record was broken by Olivia Newton-John, making her the first British female solo artist to do so.

She has received two World Music Awards, two MOBO Awards, and two MTV Europe Music Awards. Additionally, the musician received three Grammys and six BRIT Awards. The actress made her Broadway debut in the Lord Lloyd-Webber musical Cats revival in November with the rendition of I See You from James Cameron’s Avatar.

Enrique Iglesias’ partner Anna Kournikova gives birth to fourth child

https://i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk/incoming/article35803898.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/0_Miami-Dolphins-Orange-Carpet-Arrivals.jpg

The birth of their fourth child was welcomed by Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias. The couple shared a photo of their young child in a joint Instagram post as they announced the news.

Their infant was seen cuddling up in their crib, complete with a cuddly toy. “My Sunshine 12.17.2025”, they said. One fan wrote, “OMG! ! ” and the other person commented, “OMG! “. The cutest Christmas gift. Enrique and Anna, my beloved, congratulated, and may the baby be happy and healthy.

A third added, “A precious early Christmas present.” Congratulations to the family and you! “Omg!!! I’m so happy for you all. “Congratulations,” said another.

The former tennis player’s health issues are the subject of the announcement just months later. Anna, 44, was photographed walking in a wheelchair and putting a protective boot around her foot earlier this year.

Enrique and Anna rarely discuss their personal lives on social media, despite having met on the set of the music video for his 2001 single, Escape. Anna and the musician live in Miami, where she and the musician reportedly grew up, but she appeared to be in good health as of this month when she stepped out with two of her children.

The couple is the parents of twins Mary, 5, and Nicholas, 7, who is also known by her Russian name Masha. Anna was seen shopping with her daughters this summer while sporting oversized, large clothes, according to reports that claimed she had been concealing her blossoming baby bump.

speaking to HOLA! Enrique revealed that while he’s still focusing on his career, his family is his top priority while giving a brief glimpse into his personal life last year.

He claimed for the Spanish outlet that he was in a “relaxing mood” at home, with the kids, and enjoying being able to take them to school. “Every day, they grow very quickly, and I want to enjoy it. They have already grown in 24 hours.

The couple made the announcement via Getty Images on social media.

He also told The Sun about his relationship with Anna, saying: “It’s incredible to watch her be such a wonderful mother. Watching a mother follow her instincts when she does what she does is incredible. And he later confirmed that the couple are not married, despite having previously called her his wife.

“It was just meant to be sweet at the time,” he said. I mean it without pretense. He said, “It would be simpler for the audience to understand than when I said “my girl.”

He continued, “I’ve never really believed marriage would make a difference.” I come from divorced parents, perhaps, but I don’t believe you love someone more because of a piece of paper. And having children and not getting married are not taboos anymore. Your good parenting, in your opinion, is what makes a difference.

Anna has maintained a low profile ever since leaving the sport of tennis 22 years ago. Her most recent social media post, which she shared pictures of her husband and their children, was published on June 16, 2024.

The doubles player’s former best-of-three position topped the rankings in 2000 when she reached the top eight. She did, however, reach the semi-finals of Wimbledon in 1997 despite not having won a singles Grand Slam title.

She did win two titles at the Australian Open in 1999 and two years later, respectively, in 2002 despite failing to win a singles title. Anna also rose to the top of Google’s search results, winning hearts over her charm and being dubbed the “Spice Girls of tennis” alongside her ex-court partner Martina Hingis.
