Cold Ash needs funds for new sports facilities
New recreation facilities for Cold Ash Recreation Ground are on the cards.
The village is looking to install a number of new sporting facilities at the Cold Ash Acland Memorial Field.
This includes a concrete table tennis area with hard-standing, a new basketball hoop and dedicated court and a bike shelter to hold 10 bikes.
The bike shelter would be situated near the parish clerk office.
A small volunteer group – Cold Ash Parish Fundraising Group – has been tasked by Cold Ash Parish Council to seek funding.
The aim is to raise £26,000 to see the project through to completion.
The council has pledged its support for the project and committed to contribute a sum toward the improvements.
So far £20,084 has been raised.
The council said these new facilities will enhance the sporting and recreational opportunities for all ages and will promote health and wellbeing for all – particularly young people – as well as social opportunities and fun.
Every £1 donated will be match funded by the Greenham Trust.
