King’s Lynn and West Norfolk to Search for New 3G Football Pitches

They need new 3G football pitches in some areas. There aren’t enough now. West Norfolk Council teams up with other groups. They want pitches in Lynn, Downham, and the west area.

They ask groups to suggest site locations. These groups must qualify for Football Foundation money. If your group fits, express your interest by completing a form by March 21.

A consultant, FMG, will review all submissions. They’ll score the applications in two steps. The goal is to recommend a site for each area. Then sites apply for official funding.

Who can apply? Not-for-profit clubs, councils and the County FA qualify. Also professional clubs, schools, and charities qualify. Community groups, other social enterprises, and companies with guarantees can apply too.

Sites need appropriate space for a full-size 3G pitch. Applicants must have a 25-year lease or ownership. They can discuss long-term leases with landowners.

Applicants need to find some funding. The council cannot promise funding yet. The council works to fix the 3G pitch shortage and help local sport and health.

This call for sites is open and straightforward. They await site recommendations.
