Elsea Park AGP Ltd Secures Long-Term Management of Elsea Park 3G Facility
Elsea Park AGP Ltd is proud to announce that it has taken on the management of the Elsea Park 3G football facility under a new long-term lease with Elsea Park Community Trust.
Elsea Park AGP Ltd is a collaborative partnership formed by three key local football organisations: Bourne Town Juniors, Thurlby Tigers, and Bourne Town FC. Together, these clubs share a united vision: to provide, protect, and enhance a high-quality grassroots football facility for the local community and for the many teams that represent it.
The long-term lease marks a significant milestone for local football, ensuring that the Elsea Park 3G pitch will remain a safe, accessible, and well-maintained home for community football for years to come.
This partnership represents a real commitment to grassroots football in Bourne and the surrounding villages, by securing the long-term future of the 3G facility, we can focus on supporting our local players, teams, and volunteers, and continue to grow the game at all levels.
The facility will continue to host training sessions and fixtures for all associated clubs, with opportunities for wider community use and future development initiatives designed to foster participation in football for all ages and abilities.
This new era of management underscores the coalition’s pledge to invest in the future of local football while maintaining a facility that the entire community can take pride in.
We will shortly be publishing contact details for further information, booking enquiries, or to learn how your team can benefit from the Elsea Park 3G facility.
Manager’s Report
The Centre Extension
Progress continues, though contractors report being three weeks behind schedule. Additional builders are now on-site to help regain lost time.
Grounds Update
Quayside West & East: Work begins the week commencing 4th August to replace the sets. Once complete, The Trust will apply for planning permission to install large cast iron planters, based on resident consultation.
Ponds Maintenance: After a successful nine-month run, both fountains now require attention. The pump provided by Tilia Homes Ltd may be oversized for the fountain system, potentially causing burst pipework.
Play Parks
Notley Way Toddler Play Park: Following a site meeting with Bellway, the necessary remedial work has been completed to ensure safety.
Aykroft Play Park: Refurbishment is complete and the park has reopened to positive feedback.
Great Leighs Play Park: The slide has been replaced due to wear and tear. Quotes are being collected for required fencing and gate repairs.
Market Rasen Play Park: New safety impact matting is scheduled for installation in the week commencing 11th August. Replacement gate quotes are also being sought.
Developers Update
Barratt David Wilson
A site meeting is scheduled for Thursday, 7th August to address the lack of remedial work to failed hoggin paths in Zone 8. The Trust will also push for completion of hedging and ditch works, which are contributing to flooding near Butterfield Gardens.
Bellway
The Bridge 234 lectern has been installed at Notley Way Play Park. While the content meets expectations, the physical appearance of the lectern is underwhelming. Bellway has been asked to source a more suitable alternative.
