Applications invited to run Grayfields Recreation Ground and Pavilion

Published Friday, 6th March 2020

Hartlepool Borough Council is inviting applications from external community organisations to operate Grayfields Recreation Ground and Pavilion on a 25-year lease.

The move is part of a recently-announced multi-million pound investment by the authority to develop 21st century leisure facilities across the town.

In preparation for the transfer of the site, the Council is reinstating the artificial grass pitch and carrying out a range of other minor works to ensure that the facility is fit for future long-term use.

Ian Gardiner, the Council’s Head of Leisure, Recreation and Participation, said: “We are committed to improving the quality of facilities and access to opportunities across the town for local people.

“We believe that transferring the Grayfields site will represent a positive step forward in terms of increasing participation in football by local girls, boys, women and men.”

If your organisation would like to know more about operating the Grayfields site, further information about how to apply and the terms and conditions of the lease is available on the Council’s website at www.hartlepool.gov.uk/downloads/download/1220/grayfields or by emailing Estates@Hartlepool.gov.uk

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Friday 17th April 2020.
