Council grant helps renovation of Thornton Le Moor’s cricket pavilion

Thornton Le Moor’s cricket pavilion has been transformed with the help of council cash.

The project which has been split into three phases, included a complete overhaul of the interior and exterior of the current pavilion to create a more modern and inviting pavilion.

Phase one saw the old and unsightly portaloo, shower block and machinery stores removed, and an extension added thanks to £4000 from Hambleton District Council’s Making a Difference Fund.

It included new larger changing rooms, toilets and showers and new storage facilities for the equipment. The exterior cladding was also replaced.

Phases two and three will see a disabled access created as well as a bar and large communal room. 

Ward member councillor Andrew Robinson, who supported the application, said: “The club wanted to create a modern facility that would become a social hub for the whole of the village.

“The refurbishment work has absolutely achieved that and made such a difference to Thornton Le Moor, now and for many years to come.”
