As regular visitors to Parklea playing fields will know, work is well underway on the first 3G pitch, which is costing £680,000. Completion was to be at the end of May but this has been delayed a few weeks due to inclement weather at the start of the contract. The pitch should however be fully operational by the end of June.
Design work is well advanced on the new community stadium (which will provide a home for Port Glasgow Juniors) and changing pavilion. Before work can commence on the stadium a new car park and road infrastructure have to be constructed. Work should start on the car park and road this summer.
This summer should also see work on upgrading the drainage of 4 of the 8 grass pitches. These pitches will be out of action until July 2011. Work on the remaining 4 grass pitches will be carried out in summer 2011 and pitches available for use a year later.
This is a very exciting project and I am pleased that things are moving forward.
The total investment being made by the Council in Parklea is £6.4m.
