Last chance to have your say on the Headley Sports Pavilion Consultation

Headley Parish Council (HPC) is working on a major project to improve the Margery Wheatley Pavilion and the Mill Lane Playing Fields for future generations. So far we have secured funding totalling £975,000 and have already provided three new Junior football pitches.

Since this project began, construction costs have risen considerably and this has led to a potential gap of up to £210,000 between the funding obtained so far and the total cost. There are potential alternative sources of grant funding, but these may not be confirmed until after the start of construction.

To avoid delay and probable further increases in cost, HPC propose to apply for a Public Works Loan Board loan to cover the gap between known funding and possible total cost.

Part of the loan application process is to run a Public Consultation to make the Community aware of HPC intentions, and to invite comment. We held a Public Meeting on 4th October, and the on-line form where you can vote and leave comments is open until 11th November.

To read more about the work planned for the Mill Lane Playing Fields and Pavilion please visit the Recreation links above. Alternatively you can go directly the Consultation page with the button below where you can read more details, FAQs and leave your comments.
