Plans are taking shape for a new multi-use games area (MUGA) in Bottesford, with North Lincolnshire Council awarding £20,000 through the community grant scheme to support the project with brand new fencing.

The new facility will give residents a welcoming, accessible space to come together, take part in activities and strengthen community connections.

Designed for year-round use, the MUGA will provide opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy sport and recreation close to home. By encouraging more outdoor activity, it will help residents stay healthy, active, and engaged.

The project marks another step forward in improving local facilities, backed by the council and its partners. Together, they are investing in the future of Bottesford by delivering a modern, inclusive space that reflects community ambition and pride.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “This project is another great example of how our investment is helping communities deliver what matters most to local people. Facilities like this bring families, friends, and neighbours together while encouraging healthier, more active lifestyles.”

The funding forms part of the council’s wider commitment to supporting communities and improving local facilities.

Cllr John Davison, cabinet member for community wellbeing (urban), added: “It’s fantastic to see Bottesford Town Council working with a range of partners to make this happen. A new MUGA will be a real asset for the area, providing a safe, modern space that can be used year-round by people of all ages.”

The £104,000 project is being funded through a combination of sources, including £50,000 from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, £30,000 from the SSE Sustainable Development Fund, £4,000 from Bottesford Town Council’s own resources and £20,000 from the council’s community grant.

Community grants are available for town and parish councils, community groups, and voluntary organisations to help deliver projects that make a difference locally.
