Council agrees additional funding for Browick recreation ground

A £65,000 investment agreed today is in addition to the £250,000 S106 contribution that has already been agreed, match-funding £250,000 from the town council. The additional funding will be transferred from the £2.7 million that has been set aside to invest in the Council’s leisure offering at Kett’s Park.

Leader of South Norfolk Council, Daniel Elmer said:

This is another example of the council investing in and empowering our local communities. Improvement to the Browick Road Recreation Ground will benefit all sections of the community, especially young people who use the skatepark, MUGA and the BMX pump track.”

As a condition of the extra funding, the Council has asked to see a revised business plan, to receive reassurance about the security of the site and an undertaking that the first phase of the project will be started within 12 months.
