FROM TONIGHT'S LANCASHIRE TELEGRAPH......
Accrington Stanley have been urged to apply for funding for a planned £1.2m ground redevelopment.
When the Reds first announced plans to revamp the Coppice end last year, bosses were hopeful of getting funding from the Local Enterprise Growth Initiative, known as LEGI, which supports small businesses, and had also planned to apply for back-up funding from the Football Found-ation.
Though a planning application for the scheme was expected within the next month, and ‘phase one’ building work expected to begin this summer, no funding application has been made to LEGI, which was expected to fund the majority of the £1.2million needed.
The Football Foundation also said the club had not yet applied to them for a Football Stadia Improvement Fund grant.
It is not known whether the club have made applic-ations to other funding sources, as Accrington Stanley chiefs were unavailable for comment.
Hyndburn Borough Council, which as the local authority is responsible for assessing LEGI bids, said it had not received an application.
Council leader Peter Britcliffe said: “The situation at the moment is that they simply have not put forward any bid. Though they made some initial enquiries, they have withdrawn. LEGI funding is administered by the local council and we would have expected to see an application by now, considering their plans.”
The development plans had involved putting a roof on the Coppice Terrace, and putting the entire ground under cover.
Plans were also said to involve new changing rooms, redeveloping the club car park and replacing the temporary cabin control room with a purpose built facility.
