HAWKINGE PAVILION PLANS APPROVED
Hawkinge Parish Council’s plan to build a new Football
Pavilion for their site at the Parish Council Grounds took a
significant step forward last week, when planning was unanimously
approved by Shepway District Council’s Development Control
Committee.
The Parish Council have been working in partnership with
Hawkinge Youth Football Club, the Kent County FA and The Roger De
Haan Charitable Trust, which has already committed significant
funding towards the project.
The new changing facilities will provide footballers from the
village and the surrounding area with a much needed amenity.
In a joint statement, David Callahan Chairman of Hawkinge
Parish Council and Hawkinge Youth Football Club Chairman Rob Lawford
said, ‘We are now in a position to progress our application to the
Football Foundation for the final element of funding. This is an
extremely exciting project which will bring huge value to the local
community and benefit the players and members of Hawkinge Youth FC,
which continue to grow in number. We would like to thank The Roger
De Haan Charitable Trust for all their support and for what will be
an extremely high quality facility’.
Trevor Minter of The Roger De Haan Charitable Trust said, “We
are very pleased that The Roger De Haan Charitable Trust is able to
help improve provision for football in Hawkinge. The Trust
welcomes discussions with sports clubs across Shepway to identify
appropriate opportunities to develop or update facilities for
amateur sport.”

Hawkinge Youth Football Club are proud to announce that the
Football Association have awarded the Club Charter Standard
Status. Achieving this Status demonstrates that our Club is well
run and sustainable, meeting all criteria that sets us aside as
a 'Quality' Club. Rob Lawford, Chairman of the Club, said "
Being recognised by the Football Association as achieving

Sports Changing Facility -
Further to the report in the Herald this week, the Club would
like to 'set the record straight' to all its members. The claim
that 'costs have spiralled' for the provision of these
facilities is inaccurate and in fact all costs have remained
largely the same and have been provided by the architect
employed by the Parish Council. The article implies that the
Parish Council have been working toward an application to the
Football Foundation, when in fact HYFC is the 'lead' on this
project.The Club would like to make it clear that the Football
Foundation could potentially fund up to 90% of the cost of this
project and all indications are that the ongoing application
will be successful. The Club are making every effort to work in
partnership with the Parish Council to bring this project to
fruition. |
|
10/01/08 |
Sports Changing Facility -
'Thank You' to the many parents and children who attended the Parish
Council meeting on the evening of 9th January to hear the
Council discuss the proposal for a community / sports changing
room facility. It was disappointing to hear that the councillors
are not entirely supportive of this project, however HYFC feel
that working in partnership and with a positive mindset all
stakeholders will be convinced of the benefits to the football
club and to the community as a whole. |
