Two popular community spaces in Bottesford are set for major improvements following a £320,000 funding boost from North Lincolnshire Council.
Bottesford Football Club will receive £200,000 to upgrade gym facilities at Barrett Steel Stadium. The club, which runs over 24 teams for all ages and abilities—including inclusive squads for children with Down Syndrome, Special Olympics athletes, and girls’ football—continues to expand its offering for local residents.
The football club has already benefited from earlier council and Football Foundation support, securing £1.5 million to deliver a floodlit 3G pitch, enhanced grass playing surfaces, new spectator seating, and accessibility upgrades.
Meanwhile, Bottesford Town Council will receive £120,000 for improvements at Bottesford Pavilion. The funding will go towards new toilet facilities and the installation of energy-efficient heating and lighting to support growing community use.
The pavilion, regularly used for social events such as parties, weddings, and baby showers, will become more accessible and eco-friendly as a result.
The investment comes via the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, managed locally by North Lincolnshire Council.
