Revitalizing Community Hub: Blaby Road Park Pavilion

Transforming a Neglected Sports Pavilion into a Vibrant Community Hub: A New Plan AnnouncedA new plan has been unveiled to revitalize a neglected sports pavilion in South Wigston, with the Richard Moore Sports Community Interest Company securing a twenty-five-year lease for Blaby Road Park. The company aims to significantly upgrade the facility, potentially doubling its size and adding another floor, pending planning permission. The proposed improvements include modernizing changing rooms, installing new accessible toilets, and renovating community spaces for broader local use. The company is seeking investment from organizations like the Football Foundation and Bowls England to fund these renovations, with plans to open the pavilion for twelve to fourteen hours a day starting in 2026, serving as a home for local sports teams and clubs. The revamped pavilion will also host youth clubs, an alternative provision school, and a program to help adults with learning difficulties find employment. DNN | The Daily News Now!
