The community of Bishops Cannings, Wiltshire, is today celebrating the news that Bishops Cannings Cricket Club has received an £8000 funding boost from the Hills Group Limited.
The money has been made available through the Landfill Communities Fund (LCF), which is administered for Hills by Community First, the Rural Community Council for Wiltshire.
The funding grant has been used to upgrade the fencing around the picturesque ground at Coate, Bishops Cannings. Over the years, various wildlife (including cricketers retrieving cricket balls from beyond the boundary!), has caused significant wear and tear on the fence surround, so it’s been fantastic to be able to carry out extensive repair and renewal work at the ground.
Ed Davies, Chairman of the cricket club, said: “The club is extremely grateful for the support of Hills and Community First , which has enabled this essential work to be carried out to our club facilities.”
