A report published by Bracknell Forest Borough Council (BFBC) indicated contributions from a special pot of money put aside for improving recreational facilities will be used to fund enhancements at the site.

The planned upgrades include:

  • New safety barriers around ‘pitch one’
  • New security and access gates between the clubhouse and the changing rooms
  • New hard standing path to be provided outside the fence line along bottom end of ‘pitch one’

Binfield FC has also put in a bid for £80,000 community infrastructure funding via Binfield Parish Council to deliver wider improvements to the community facilities.

According to BFBC’s report, more than 400 local families use Binfield Football Club’s facilities.

BFBC confirmed the plans in a decision made by councillor John Harrison last week.
