Work has begun on a first of its kind elite and community cricket facility in South Ribble.
I was delighted to be at Farington with Aidy Riggot, Lancashire County Council's cabinet member for economic development and growth, and Lancashire Cricket’s Mark Chilton for the start of what is a new era. We have spades in the ground for a transformative sports complex that a whole range of community cricket clubs and groups can access alongside the elite sportsmen and women from Lancashire Cricket Club who will use it to train and compete at.
This is two LCCs working together to build a legacy locally, nationally, and internationally for the sport and especially for the development of the women’s game, but I am most thrilled about how the community will be able to enjoy some of these world class facilities when they are ready in 2025. I am looking forward to coming back when the doors open.
