This sits in the upper-middle of the Construction band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 64,002 valued Construction tenders in our corpus.
In 2009 initial plans for a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) on Willingham recreation ground were drawn up by the Willingham Sports Council but shortly afterwards the Sports Council was disbanded and the plans shelved.
When ring-fenced S106 money for public open spaces from the new developments became available, the Parish Council agreed that resurrecting the MUGA plans was a priority.
The aim would be to provide a fenced all-weather surface with floodlights to allow year-round use.
Following a public consultation in 2019 and various designs, surveys and planning applications since, the final agreed proposal was for the construction of a tennis and netball court with floodlighting together with a flood plain compensation scheme.
This development is financed through the use of Section 106 contributions from recently developed new housing developments within the Willingham Parish.
The use of this finance is consistent with the requirements for spending section 106 contributions towards the development and use of Public Open Space, which meets strategic local need for more floodlight training pitches for use all year round across the District and as defined in the Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire Playing Pitch Strategy 2015-2031 for South Cambridgeshire and Cambridge City adopted in June 2016 which aims to provide a strategy which addresses the needs of the community and ensure that the right facilities are available to support the various sports played int the area.
