Riccall News Recreation Ground Funding

Today, ‘Living Spaces’ confirmed a grant of Ł25,000 towards the development of Riccall Recreation Ground. This is the last piece of the Ł51,000 funding required for phase 1 of the project, which will include a fenced play area with a central picnic area.

Funding has been secured from Riccall Parish Council (around Ł18,000) and from a Section 106 agreement with the builder of the new houses opposite the Recreation Ground (around Ł6,000). Around Ł2,000 has been raised locally.

Selby District Council’s ‘Money 4 U’ scheme has promised just under Ł5,000, to provide a multi wall for teenagers. This should go in at around the same time as the junior and toddler equipment. Further teenage equipment is planned during Phase 2 of the project and funding for this is currently being sought.

Work to improve the boundary of the Recreation Ground is starting straight away. The new play equipment should be in place over the winter months.
