Why This Matters

The Dee Street site sits in a prominent town-centre location but is currently underused and in poor condition. BOA’s aim is to bring it back into positive community use by creating better opportunities for sport, physical activity, wellbeing and local connection.

Community Impact

The project is intended to:

  • improve access to local sport and physical activity
  • support health and wellbeing across all ages
  • create more opportunities for young people and local clubs
  • bring a neglected site back into productive community use
  • strengthen community participation and inclusion

BOA is building momentum through a combination of community support, fundraising and local partnerships.
