Project Update - May 2026
The Saxilby and District Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) project continues to make strong progress, with construction now well underway on site.
The project has secured full funding through contributions from Lovell Homes, FCC Communities Foundation, West Lindsey District Council, Saxilby Sports Hub, and Lincolnshire Co-op Community Champions. The £150,000 project has been funded entirely through grants and developer contributions, with no parish precept funding used.
Construction work began in March 2026, with Fosse Contracts Ltd appointed as the main contractor for the build.
Progress to Date
Since work started, significant progress has been made, including:
- Removal of the old tarmac surface and preparation of the site
- Demolition of the former retaining wall at the northern end of the area
- Extension of the site footprint to create the full-size MUGA
- Installation of new kerbing around the perimeter
- Construction of a new retaining wall alongside the car park
- Installation of the new base layers for the new playing surface
- Erection of the perimeter fencing, including new integrated football goals
- Installation of a new crate-based surface water drainage system to help address historic localised flooding issues in the area
The new facility is now beginning to take shape and provides a clear indication of how the finished MUGA will look and function for the community.
Next Steps
Over the coming weeks, work will focus on:
- Completing the final playing surface
- Installing seating at the northern end of the MUGA
- Tarmacking the entrance area
- Final finishing works and site preparations
The build is expected to take approximately 10 weeks in total, with the facility anticipated to be ready for community use during the summer, subject to weather and final completion works.
The parish council would like to thank all councillors, volunteers, trustees, contractors, professional advisers, and funding organisations who have helped make this long-awaited community project possible.
Further updates will continue to be shared as work progresses.
