New 3G pitch close to completion

A new 3G pitch at Llanidloes is close to completion.

The new 3G pitch is being installed at Llanidloes Sports Centre and replaces the outdated sports pitch. The work to install the pitch will finish this month, according to Powys County Council.
 
As part of the works, which is being carried out by Welshpool-based SWG Construction, an improved floodlighting scheme has also been installed.
 
The 3G pitch will be suitable for football, hockey and a number of other outdoor sports for the community of Llanidloes and visitors to use.
 
Cllr Rachel Powell, Powys County Council’s Cabinet Member for Young People, Culture and Leisure, said: “I’m delighted that this work is nearing completion and I’m sure that the sporting community in Llanidloes are looking forward to using this resource when it opens as well as Freedom Leisure, who will oversee and manage this facility.
 
“This project is only possible thanks to the support of Njord Wind Developments, the developers of the Bryn Blaen Wind Farm. This investment has helped to ensure the council’s aspirations and purpose in providing high-quality, inclusive and fully accessible leisure facilities in Powys. We are very grateful.”
