SPORTING action is set for a boost at Clee Fields off Ladysmith Road in Grimsby.
After years of abandonment, plans have been unveiled - and appproved - for the installation of two new synthetic all-weather football/hockey pitches, plus perimeter fencing, floodlighting and a changing room.
The car park will be reconfigured to accommodate 199 vehicles, including 12 for disabled, and spaces for cycles and motor cycles.
It is a big investment by North East Lincolnshire Council with laying of each pitch, for instance, likely to cost at least £250,000. However, there could be some grant funding from organisations such as the Football Foundation.
A report on the project states; "The proposal will result in a significant investment at an existing recreational facility.
"It will bring benefits to the environment and to residents utilising the facility in terms of health and wellbeing."
Of the existing on-site trees, one of the 39 will need to be removed, but there are hopes that some future planting scheme could enhance the setting.
