Construction work on a new £7.5m Community Pavilion on the Hickings Lane Recreation Ground in Stapleford has begun.

The pavilion will be a state-of-the-art, multi-use building, with a recreation and sports ground, that will replace some of the town’s out-of-date community facilities.

Due to open in 2025, it will bring local community groups together under one roof as a central hub for people of all ages to meet, learn, play, dance and keep fit.
