Two organisations in Beeford have been awarded more than £120,000 by East Riding of Yorkshire Council for improvements to the village play area and playing field.
Beeford Parish Council has been awarded £34,107.29 from commuted sums for improvements to the village play area, with the Parish Council contributing £5,612.31 towards the £39,719.60 total project cost.
The play area, currently closed for health and safety reasons, will undergo vital repairs to the safety surfacing and existing equipment with an addition of new multi-play equipment.
Margaret Rose, clerk to Beeford Parish Council, said
“We are very grateful for the award from East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The repairs the award will pay for will make a lasting impact by creating a safe, engaging space where children can play, learn and grow.”
Beeford Playing Field Association have received £87,073.51 from commuted sums to install upgrades to the playing field with additional funding from Lissett Community Wind Farm Fund of £9,486.59 and the association fundraising £3,000 towards the £99,560.10 total project cost.
The funding will go towards the installation of a multi use games area on the playing fields in Beeford. This will be a free-to-use facility, accessible to everyone, featuring football goals and basketball hoops.
Joyce Hollingsworth, secretary at Beeford Playing Field Association, said:
“Thanks to the commuted sums from East Riding of Yorkshire Council, we can install a well needed asset to the village for all to use. The area can be used for 5 a-side football, walking football, basketball and general kickabouts.”
Councillor Gary McMaster, the council’s cabinet member for planning, housing and infrastructure said:
“These significant awards of commuted sums from local housing developments as a condition of their planning approval will help to make a huge difference to Beeford and will bring real benefits to the local community.”
