Background information
The current Manley Park Community Centre has been great but is now tired and wearing out. COSG desperately need updated facilities to cater for all of their expanding communities. COSG have spent a lot of time and energy, and spoken to several experts, to agree on the best way forward to improve the health and wellbeing of the community and young people.
The proposal
This proposal is to build a Community Sports Hall, gym and a community room on the present location of the Manley Park Community/Play Centre. This new-build will be dedicated for community use, will be easy to access by all, and will really boost the community projects.
