The cost to build the MUGA would be paid for by money available to the parish council from house construction in the village, plus other grants.

Maintaining the MUGA is estimated to cost the parish council more than £1,000 a year. To pay for this, the parish precept would have to increase for each household by £2 to £3 per annum.

The parish council is consulting residents about the plans. To give your views, email [email protected]
