It is fantastic news that Cheltenham Saracens FC and Cheltenham Skittles League have been granted £458,000 in Government funding towards upgrading their facilities and to build a new community sports hub at Petersfield Park.
The project, which Alex was delighted to lobby for with ministers behind the scenes, will help deliver a new changing room, toilets, kitchen, community room, bar and skittles alley. Works will also include a new private road access into the ground.
Alex said:
"Cheltenham Saracens are an important pillar of the local community and this funding will enable them to provide even more sporting and community based activities for years to come.
"My congratulations and thanks go to Graham and Gerry and the army of volunteers who campaigned so strongly. Credit too should go to the Petersfield Partnership, Cheltenham Saracens Committee and all those who wrote letters of support."
