Work has begun on the new Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) at the Hub in Seahouses.

The old tennis courts are being revamped into a MUGA by Seahouses Development Trust.

Cllr Guy Renner-Thompson, Bamburgh ward member on Northumberland County Council, said “I have supported the project with £20,000 of council money from my small scheme fund.

“Well done to everyone at the development trust for getting the project off the ground. This is a great project for Seahouses and the surrounding area which will be used by children from far and wide.”

A MUGA is usually in the form of a court with sturdy high perimeter fencing and can be used for sports such as football, netball, basketball or tennis or for activities such as outdoor fitness classes.
