Clay Cross Active keeps on giving more as 3G pitch opens
North East Derbyshire District Council is delighted to announce the completion of a brand-new 3G football pitch at Clay Cross Active, marking another milestone in the centre’s development.
The project was made possible thanks to a £786,000 grant from the Premier League, The FA and Government’s Football Foundation, with additional support from the Council and local partners.
The new all-weather pitch will provide year-round opportunities for local clubs, schools, and community groups to train and play, supporting grassroots football and promoting healthier lifestyles.
Demand for bookings is already high and the facility will accommodate our partner clubs, Chesterfield Community Trust and others. The facility has been an overwhelming success, and the new pitch will add further opportunities for local residents, reaffirming Clay Cross Active’s standing of being a hub for sport and physical activity in the district
North East Derbyshire District Council Cabinet Member for Leisure, Cllr Kathy Rouse said, “Thanks to the generosity of the Football Foundation and our local partners this exciting project has now been completed and is now ready for our communities to use, helping us support and grow local talent at this amazing centre.”
Robert Sullivan, Chief Executive of the Football Foundation: “The Football Foundation is working closely with our partners – the Premier League, The FA and Government – to transform the quality of grassroots facilities in England by delivering projects like this across the country. Good quality playing facilities have a transformative impact on physical and mental health and play an important role in bringing people together and strengthening local communities.
“We’re delighted that the local community will now be able to enjoy all these benefits thanks to the new facilities at Clay Cross.”
