12 NOTICE OF MOTIONS 
(a) Motion by Councillor Chris Pollock – Dumbarton Football Club 
Council recognises and congratulates Dumbarton Football Club, the players,
fans, staff and management on gaining promotion to Scotland's League One of
football. Moving through the playoffs undefeated the sons clinched victory
against Spartans in Edinburgh, on May 17th with a 4-3 aggregate win. 
Founded in 1872 Dumbarton is one of Scotland's oldest football clubs. The club
is well supported and popular with locals. The location of the stadium beneath
Dumbarton Rock has been described as one of the world's most iconic football
grounds. 
Gaining promotion is an excellent achievement for the area's biggest and most
successful club. Council wishes the club and the fans all the best for next
season.   
(b) Motion by Councillor Gordon Scanlan – Early Years Physical Activity
Programme 
Council recognises the unique importance of developing physical literacy
alongside traditional literacy within our early learning centres.  
The leisure trust’s early years physical activity programme has been operating
for the last 2 years from covid recovery funding which has come to an end and
this will stop the programme from running at the end of this school term.

Page 5

Unless action is taken to fill this gap, this programme will cease to run and no
physical activity provision will be delivered from the leisure trust. 
Council will provide £50,000 from free reserves to run this programme for a
further year and give the service time to find further funding so that the service
does not simply cease to operate.
