ACCRINGTON Stanley Community Trust have appointed an architect to design their proposed multi-million pound Community Sports Hub in Accrington.
The board of trustees met this week and selected Campbell Driver Partnership to lead on the architectural work over the coming months.
This news follows the completion of the feasibility study.
Martin Fearon, trust manager, said: "The feasibility study for the new sports hub has been completed and we are currently discussing the findings with key partners and the council.
“We held meetings with a number of groups and local organisations as part of the study and this information has helped us shape the proposals.”
The preferred location is Higham Playing Fields in Thorneyholme Road.
The proposed facility will include a full size floodlit 4G pitch, grass pitches and a community building.
