DCC receives £1.4m football funding
Derby City Council (DCC) has been handed more than £1.4m by the Football Foundation (FF) to build new changing rooms at two sites in the city.
The new facilities are set to be created at both Racecourse Park and Alvaston Park as part of a wider £3.6m revamp of sporting provision - both including team and officials' changing rooms. A club room, a kitchen and public toilets will also be included at both sites, while Alvaston Park's changing facilities will also incorporate a café area. Existing facilities at Racecourse Park will be demolished once the new building is complete.
DCC cabinet member for leisure and culture Alan Grimadell said: "The regeneration of both football sites is great news for the city. We hope that the improvements will encourage more young people to use and enjoy the facilities."
