Rushcliffe council approves 3G pitch funding

Rushcliffe Borough Council (RBC) has agreed to provide a £400,000 funding boost to improve football facilities in the Borough. The grant will support the development and long-term sustainability of new 3G pitches and associated facilities, including changing rooms and pavilion upgrades.

The Football Foundation’s Local Football Facility Plan (LFFP), published in 2025, identifies eight priority projects in the region. The sites associated with the projects will be invited to apply for the new funding from April 1.

The eight areas are Bingham, Cotgrave, East Leake, Keyworth, Radcliffe on Trent, Ruddington and West Bridgford.

RBC’s portfolio holder for Leisure and Wellbeing, Jonathan Wheeler, said: “This funding will help us deliver strategic projects that strengthen local facilities and benefit communities across the Borough. “This grant will help us continue to deliver high-quality sports facilities across Rushcliffe.”
