Walnut Meadows Proposed Sports Facilities

Introduction

A key part of the Drayton Neighbourhood Plan was the provision of sport facilities at Walnut Meadows. A survey asking residents which sports they would like to see at Walnut Meadows was undertaken during the Neighbourhood Plan and updated in early 2022.

The proposed facilities are a direct result of those surveys.

Delays to the transfer of the land, which were beyond the control of the Parish Council, have meant that costs have increased since the original proposals. The Parish Council is proposing to provide the facilities that were asked for via a combination of S106 funding, funds the Council has accumulated, grants and a Public Works Loan.

It is planned that the pitches, MUGA and perimeter path will be constructed during 2024 and the Pavilion during 2025/26.
