Funding boost from UK Shared Prosperity Fund to help with Newbury Wharf re-design
Published: 14:00, 23 February 2023
West Berkshire Council will be receiving the first tranche of an allocated £1m funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund in 2023 – with the majority coming in 2024.
The funding will be used to re-design part of Newbury Wharf to create a public event space.
It will also be used for creating three new junior football pitches and a cricket field at Goosecroft Recreation Ground in Purley-on-Thames.
A public art trail initiative across some rural villages will get cash and funding will be put towards recruiting a new council officer to work on attracting major private investment into West Berkshire.
