Paul Goggins Welcomes Opening Of Norbrook Youth Club - 18/01/2010 |
 Local MP Paul Goggins has welcomed the official opening of the new Norbrook Youth Club building.
The new building is situated next to the former clubhouse on Bordley Walk and offers community facilities for young people in the area. Funding is also being sought for an outdoor play area and a multi-use all weather arena.
Funding for the £550,000 building has come primarily from GMPTE who needed to demolish the original building as part of the Metrolink extension to Manchester Airport via Wythenshawe town centre.
Paul Goggins MP said: “It is great that a new building has now opened. It has been a long and hard battle to get the funding in place for the new Norbrook Youth Club building. It is only through the hard work of Bill Fishwick, Chairman of the club, and the other club volunteers, that such a superb building exists here today.”
Brooklands Ward Councillor and Lead Member for Services To Young People Sue Murphy said: "One of the Council's top priorities is providing leisure facilities for young people across the city. Norbrook Youth Club is a prime example of the camaraderie that can be developed and the pride that community facilities bring to where we live."
