Two community sites in Messingham are receiving a combined £26,750 to improve facilities and expand access for local residents.
At Holme Meadow Recreation Field, £11,000 has been allocated for the installation of outdoor gym equipment. The new eight-station set will cater to both teenagers and adults, encouraging more opportunities for exercise and addressing concerns over rising levels of teenage obesity.
The Messingham Show Field will see £15,750 invested in a new hard-standing access path and gate. The improvements are designed to make the historic showground more accessible to wheelchair users and those with mobility scooters. The field, which has hosted events since 1825, also provides space for football matches and pony club activities.
Funding for the projects comes through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, managed by North Lincolnshire Council, to support healthier and more inclusive communities across the region.
