The first on-site sports facilities to open at Buckshaw Village, midway between Leyland and Chorley, felt their first action during a holiday event for local children.

As well as hockey and football tournaments on the all-weather pitches, the local children were treated to a multi-sports day involving cricket, football and hockey games.

The floodlit pitches, that can be hired by Buckshaw residents at a discounted price, have been provided by the joint developers of Buckshaw Village, Barratt and Redrow Homes, and are currently managed by Community Leisure Facilities (CLS).

A further two grass pitches will be playable from September and work has now begun on building new changing rooms.

Am I the only one to thing BV is a huge scam designed only to make a maximum profit with as little investment as possible. It looked great on paper and plans, but the fact is, this village has no heart, no community, no park....
not to mention the poor quality of the buildings (builders of the year, they said!)
A sense of community, a sense of a common place with facilities would make a step towards its improvement

The facilities at BV are not free for all. They are private property that even us BV residents have to pay for. We were sold our houses with prochures telling us about the wonderful facilites, now we find out we have to pay to use them and also put up with non BV residents parking on the pavements and grass that we have to pay to maintain.
