Issue details

All local clubs were consulted and were in favour of the refurbishments planned for football training. The partner club, Cottenham Football Club, assisted in the development of this facility and are actively working with the school and the Council to secure the football Foundation funding. In addition, these clubs are going to work towards the FA Charter standard.  All clubs have expressed a wish to hire the facility for training.  There is a high demand for provision of an artificial turf surface in this catchment area due to the number of clubs with growing junior sections and lack of local facilities.  A new artificial turf area will particularly help to develop youth sport in the area.

Local members Cllr Wotherspoon, Cllr Edwards and Cllr Bolitho all fully support the project.
