Improved sports facilities for Shipston

A small group of people involved in sports in Shipston are hoping to secure the community support and funding to construct new community sports facilities at the High School.

These include a full size foodlit astro pitch together with an indoor facility housing 4 tennis courts, a multi sports court and a utility block with changing facilities, a ‘club’ area, reception, office, storage and possibly a dance studio and/or meeting room.

We need to collate “Evidence of Need” to help with grant applications and, if you are involved in sport in any way in Shipston and the surrounding area, we should appreciate your taking the time to complete this questionnaire.

At this point in time it is proposed that the indoor facility will be of frame/fabric construction, that the courts will not be heated in winter (although the utility block will be) and that it will be possible to open up the sides to allow good ventilation when needed.

Charges for the use of the facilities will be in line with the charges for the closest similar facilities ie.

Hire of (per hour) Min (Junior off peak) Max (Adult peak)

Mini Astro Pitch £25.00 £30.00
