Beaminster Memorial Fields Closed

At the beginning of this year, Beaminster Town Council announced that Beaminster had been awarded over £98,000 by the National Lottery Communities Fund, (NLCF), to enable them to deliver their Skate Park Project in 2021.  It has taken a while but it will be worth the effort.

Work has now started on the construction for this project and the site is expected to be closed from Tuesday 22nd February for a period of nine weeks.
The park remains open but the car park is closed.

Beaminster Town Council has received two amounts of funding from West Dorset District Council and now the generous NLCF award takes them to their funding target.  This means that that they can now commence the project and, COVID restrictions permitting, they hope to complete it by the summer of 2021.  They will be working closely with Maverick Industries on the build, and the Prout Bridge Project to develop the launch event.
