Sports village wins award

Sports village wins award

Sowerby’s £5m sports village has won regional recognition.

The Hambleton District Council project has been awarded the ‘land and rural’ prize in the inaugural North East RICS Social Impact awards.  Judges said it had been designed to support the adoption of a healthier lifestyle and will be a welcome addition to Sowerby and the surrounding area.

The project was developed following widespread consultation with local residents, sports clubs and their national bodies.   The former eleven acre landfill site has been transformed into sports pitches, a running and cycling track and fitness trail.  There are allotments for local residents, wildlife corridors and landscaping work will encourage biodiversity.

“We are very proud of this new facility in Sowerby which we opened up early for local people to have a place to walk and undertake their recreational fitness during the coronavirus pandemic,” said Council Leader, Councillor Mark Robson. (pictured at the site)

“They have a great new recreational facility on their doorstep.   It was an adventurous scheme and involved lots of partnership work so we are exceptionally proud to win this award against opposition from across the North East.”

The sports village has been constructed by ESH which submitted the scheme for the RICS (Royal Institute for Chartered Surveyors) award.

  • The scheme benefitted from £643,118 from the European Regional Development along with developer contributions for the Sowerby Gateway development – which is creating housing, retail leisure, care provision and employment land
