IMPROVEMENTS have been completed at a Flintshire sports club.

Residents of Flint have watched the town’s landscape change significantly in recent times.

One change is the construction of more than 70 apartments for the over 60s being built as part of a £9 million extra care housing scheme.

As part of this new development, positive impact has been further generated due to a section 106 agreement between Flintshire Council and Anwyl Construction.

This agreement ensured that an off-site commuted sum of £53,509 was earmarked to make improvements to the local area and community.

One of the lucky recipients of this funding is Flint Coleshill Bowls Club, which met with Aura’s play design officer Richard Roberts, in late 2018 to discuss refurbishment works to the bowling pavilion and grounds.

A generous sum of £2,500 was put towards improving the facilities which included new spectator shelters, decoration and refurbishment of the pavilion’s kitchen and toilets, and newly purchased litter bins and equipment to maintain the grounds.

Following the completion Eifion Williams, club secretary, thanked Aura Wales and Flintshire Council for all they had done for the club.

Richard Roberts said: “Aura is really pleased to be able to help Flint Bowls Club to refurbish their facilities in readiness for the new season.

"It’s great to be able to utilise section 106 funding for improving recreational space for local communities.’’

A spokesman for Aura Wales said the firm hopes these improvements will impact positively upon the Flint community and will contribute towards the success of Flint Coleshill Bowls Club.
