Stocksbridge Community leisure centre
Stocksbridge Community Leisure Centre and Oxley Park are set for £500,000 of improvements, including the creation of a new outdoor playground.
As well as brand new play facilities, the funding will also be used to improve access routes and the entrance area to the park and leisure centre, which will mean enhancing the path network, providing additional bike and car parking and an outdoor café seating area.
The Towns Fund is a £3.6bn fund launched by the Government aimed at helping towns across the UK grow, prosper and be great places to live, work and socialise.
Stocksbridge is one of 100 towns which have been chosen to bid for up to £25m Towns Fund funding, and our bid will include a proposal that details how the people, businesses and communities of Stocksbridge want to see our town develop.
You only have until 15 November to tell us how you think the money should be spent. Click the button below to have your say.

The space involved in the application
We're asking for your views on an application potentially affecting Millhouses Park.
True North Brew Co. who has a long leasehold with Sheffield City Council on the Waggon & Horses pub, have submitted a planning application to extend their outdoor seating area onto the adjacent land in Millhouses Park.
If this proposal were to be implemented it would provide additional outdoor space for the Pub (True North Brew) for trading and would include a seating area and the siting of a container unit for use as a servery. Click below to get full details and take part in the consultation.
