A new temporary car park extension for Common Edge Sports Village has opened.
The additional 41 spaces are hoped to relieve parking congestions at busy times between games at the new sports village.
The car park extension was granted planning permission last week.
The Common Edge Community Sports Village opened in June 2023 with 14 new grass football pitches, a full sized 3G football pitch, sports pavilion with changing rooms and community space, plus a floodlit grass rugby pitch and training area.
In its first year of operation, the sports village has proved exceptionally popular, with over 60,000 visits in its first year.
The 194-space sustainably drained car park and a new access road to the sports village off Common Edge Road was opened alongside the sports village, however during short periods between matches at weekends, extra spaces have been needed.
