Practical Completion of New Facilities at Tews Lane Playing Field
Last month marked the completion of the extension and refurbishment works to the changing room pavilion at Tews Lane Playing Field, delivering improved amenities for community use together with improved storage provision and accessibility.
In 2025, Fremington Parish Council received £240,000 through Section 106 funding to support the enhancement of the changing room pavilion. This funding came from the developer contributions associated with the Glenwood Farm, Oakwell Residential Home and Mead Park developments.
The finished works provide a welcoming new entrance lobby, improving access within the building. The redesigned entrance enhances the overall user experience by providing a more functional layout that better connects the pavilion's internal spaces. Alongside this, a dedicated Football Club store, which includes a kitchenette, has been incorporated into the design to better support equipment storage and the daily operations of the playing field. Furthermore, the project also includes a separate storage area for Fremington Parish Council, providing secure and convenient storage for any operational requirements.
Accessibility has been a key consideration throughout the design and delivery of the project, with the addition of a new external ramp providing step-free access to and from the refurbished pavilion, ensuring the building is inclusive for all users.
