The Hub off Pittway Avenue, also known as the Shipston Enterprise Centre, is the place where we normally hold Residents Association General Meetings - including the one scheduled for this Thursday 28th November starting at 6.30pm.

The people who run the facilities there have submitted an application to convert the existing bowling green in to a Multi Use Games Area (MUGA).  If approved they will take out the bowling green turf and replace it with a 3rd Generation synthetic surface that mimics the look and feel of grass.  This MUGA can then be used for a number of sports.

As well as installing a new surface they are seeking permission to erect a new 3 metre high boundary fence together with 8 floodlights.

According to the owners this will cater for many people in the community, including Shipston Rugby Club seniors and juniors, Shipston Ladies Hockey, Shipston Netball Club, Shipston Excelsior Football Club, and Shipston High and Primary School.

You can find all the details on the Stratford District Council planning portal, where you can also submit a comment if you wish.  The planning application reference is 24/02463/FUL

For those wondering about the bowlers, there is another bowling green in Shipston at the Sports Club off London Road, so they are still catered for.
