New sports facilities planned for Bristol
Barton Fields Trust (BFT) and Barton Hill Rugby Football Club (BHRFC) have appointed consultants Sports Solutions to look into plans for new sports facilities in Speedwell, Bristol.
BHRFC's existing facilities currently comprise a clubhouse, two pitches and a training ground that are in need of repair. The proposed new facilities would be used by its six squads, as well as the local community. It is also hoped the new facilities will help to address a range of issues, such as crime reduction and education through the use of sport at the heart of the community.
Sports Solutions will conduct a feasibility study on behalf of the two organisations in order to see whether the scheme is viable, while also consulting with stakeholders and the local authority to ensure support for the development.
