Public Consultation on Headley Playing Fields and Sports Pavilion
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.
If you would like to learn more about the project or ask questions, HPC are holding an open Public Consultation Meeting on Friday 4th October between 3.30pm and 8pm in the Pavilion hall at the Playing Fields in Mill Lane.
