en.Wedoany.com Reported - Rochdale Council is working with Rochdale AFC to advance the redevelopment of the Bowlee sports ground, aiming to improve drainage on the 27-acre site and build the infrastructure needed for community sports development.

The project is currently undergoing public consultation, with plans to build and upgrade football pitches, club facilities, and a community sports venue. The core of the proposal is to construct a two-storey centre for Rochdale AFC, covering 6,000 square feet, featuring club changing facilities, a gym, media area, offices, and entertainment space. Additionally, the building will provide extra changing and social spaces, as well as offices for the community.

The centre will provide a full-size 3G artificial turf pitch for the Rochdale AFC Community Trust, along with a natural grass training area for the club. Existing community natural grass football pitches will also be retained and upgraded. Furthermore, the project will add two new full-size 3G artificial turf pitches and introduce new cricket nets.

The community sports venue, covering 7,200 square feet, will be operated by the charity Your Trust, which focuses on improving leisure and health services in Rochdale. The venue includes a 40-station health and fitness gym, changing rooms, and community activity rooms equipped with a kitchen and social space.

The scheme has been developed by Pozzoni, with Enabl leading the planning process, Abacus serving as project manager, cost manager, and lead designer, and FMG acting as sports and leisure consultant.
