Town Deal or No Deal?

July 21, 2025 by admin Leave a Comment

The Kidsgrove Town Deal, funded by the UK government’s Towns Fund, has been significantly scaled back.

The railway station overhaul has been downgraded to a refurbishment

Kidsgrove was selected as one of 100 towns across the UK to benefit from the government’s £3.6 billion Towns Fund, aimed at boosting local economies and improving infrastructure, with Kidsgrove securing £16.9 million.

Following consultations the main projects were decided to be a railway station upgrade with new car park, and a shared services hub with some town centre public realm improvements. But now due to funding limitations and project viability issues the Kidsgrove Town Deal is undergoing significant adjustments.

Clough Hall Park refurbishment

April 4, 2025 by admin Leave a Comment

Works to develop a new play area and create more amenity space in Clough Hall Park are due to start.

The Clough Hall Park refurbishment project is part of ongoing efforts by Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council to enhance this community space. The vision is to replace underused features with more accessible open green space and modern amenities suitable for the local community.

This works include transforming the former unused bowling greens and tennis court area by removing them, regrading and reseeding the land to create more accessible open green space, refurbishing one of the existing sports courts, and installing a new toddler play area. This initiative also includes reinstalling existing ball walls to enhance recreational offerings.

The refurbishment follows the work to upgrade the tennis courts in the park for free public which was completed last summer. The courts have undergone extensive work to ensure viability for years to come, including resurfacing, repainting, new fencing, new nets and a new gate system.

The improvements are part of a broader vision to modernize and enhance the park to provide good quality sporting and recreational facilities for residents to encourage people to stay healthy and active.

A great night of music and merriment is lined up with Harry Hussey and Lily’s Weepers and an evening of jazz, courtesy of the North Staffs Accordion Club.

We are pleased to be able to unite the players once more, having done so for the last four years, to sell out audiences. This session will be in our new venue, Goldenhill Workingmen’s Club, with a larger and very pleasant room. By popular demand there will again be lots of well-known jazz tunes and plenty of fun.
