As stated within the legal agreement the commuted sum is to be used as follows:


“provision of additional changing room accommodation in the Ordsall Recreation Centre that adjoins the
site”.
“the provision of drainage to the existing grass pitch at Ordsall Park”.
The changing room provision has previously been completed and approval is now sought to improve the
drainage to the existing grass pitch. Investigations have revealed that sand-slitting and reinforcement of the
rootzone will provide a solution to the drainage problem. A quotation of £ 27,279 has been received from the
Council’s existing Grounds Maintenance Contractor – Environmental Services DSO.
A revenue budget for the maintenance of this pitch already exists and the improvement works will allow for a
higher standard of maintenance to be achieved at no additional cost.
The works are supported by the Ordsall & Langworthy Neighbourhood Management Team. It is anticipated that
the improvements will assist the Council in the provision of a much needed facility and help to address the lack
of opportunities currently available for local youths and football teams within Ordsall Park.
