We have been working closely with Bruntcliffe High School to bring Morley First All Weather Pitch to the area for several months now. The school has done an excellent job of working together with local sports clubs, residents and the MBI group to pull together the £600,000 needed to finance the school.
Under the excellent stewardship of Ryan Hirst local football and rugby clubs have come together to bring a workable and sustainable facility which will benefit everyone - students, local sports clubs, residents and especially young people. The scheme has faced significant challenges but finance has been provided by the school and the football foundation for a project that is genuinely groundbreaking in its community driven approach.
The last piece in the jigsaw - a grant of £100,000 - has been agreed by the Council from Section 106 funds - money from developers to improve local green spaces and sporting facilities. The work is underway and I hope to see this excellent new facility available for the locals community to use later in the Spring.
Congratulations to everyone involved!
