Our £2.8 million investment into Worden Hall is set to be completed this summer, making the space useful for the modern world. The improvements will allow the historic building to cater for small weddings and other events once opened. A high-quality retail space will also be available for local traders and providing multi-use spaces for office and educational use. To transform the leisure offer in
the borough we have invested £1.8 million to create a brand new 3G playing pitch hub at Withy Grove Park. The facility will have two 3G artificial sport pitches, complimented by a fully accessible, state of the art sports pavilion. Work on the flagship McKenzie Arms site has begun, which will deliver much needed affordable homes across the borough. We have also proposed to invest £2.4 million to improve South Ribble’s parks and open spaces and £200,000 for improvements to smaller open spaces and play areas. In 2019, we declared a Climate Emergency and pledged to be Carbon Neutral by 2030 which we are still working towards. As part of the work towards this we have vowed to plant 110,000 trees – one for every resident in the borough, with over 90k planted so far.
