Local MP Launches Development Of New Norbrook Youth Club - 01/07/2009 |
 Paul Goggins MP has helped launch a new half a million pound development in Brooklands at Norbrook Youth Club by turning the first piece of turf with local councillor Glynn Evans.
The project at Bordley Walk will help redevelop and expand community sporting facilities for young people in the area and provide a brand new youth club with a multi-use all weather arena, a children’s garden and an outdoor play area.
It is hoped that the project will be completed by November. The event last Friday was attended by club volunteers, parents of members, committee members and trustees from the club, and local residents.
Paul Goggins said: “I am delighted that I have been asked to turn the first piece of turf, along with local councillor Glynn Evans, to help launch the development of this new youth club. Norbrook Youth Club can now look towards a bright future, expanding the facilities it offers to young people in Northern Moor, Brooklands, and the wider area.
“I would like to pay tribute to the hard work and dedication of the volunteers who run Norbrook Youth Club. I know that once the development is completed later this year the club will be looking for more volunteers to help run the many activities that will be on offer.”
Bill Fishwick, Chairman of Norbrook Youth Club, said: “The new location adjoins the existing clubhouse which will serve both youth and community. This is an area of South Manchester which will really benefit from these extra facilities.”
