Barlow’s Park in Tadley to become solar powered thanks to £40k grant from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council
Barlow’s Park, the beloved home of Tadley Calleva FC, will soon be running on solar power thanks to a £40,000 grant.
The Barlow’s Park Management Association received the grant from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council’s community infrastructure fund.
The £40,000 grant will allow the association to install solar panels on the Stacey Pavilion.
Silchester Village Hall also benefitted from the fund, receiving £30,000 to complete a toilet refurbishment project.
These were two of the 14 organisations that received a share of the £300,000 community infrastructure fund helping them to improve their premises for users, increase income and reduce costs or make environmental improvements.
The 2024/25 scheme will launch this summer with a larger pot of £500,000.
The fund will be open for proposals from June.
