The Parish Council is holding a residents meeting to discuss the future of the Muga-pitch in light of the fact the current surface needs replacing and replacement costs are quoted between £30000 and £40000, and the Parish Council cannot currently finance this.
It is important to note the Parish Council is open to suggestions, however the current options are:
- pay for the replacement surface by increasing the precept – this will mean residents of the Parish paying a higher Council Tax for the next financial year. More information on this will be provided nearer to the date.
- pay for the replacement surface with ‘Community Gift’ monies from the solar farms – this is approximately 6 – 12 months away.
- Close the Muga-pitch and invest monies elsewhere in the park / village.
The arrangements for the meeting are:
Date 14th October 2024
Location Assembly Hall, Camblesforth School
Time 1830 – 2030
