Decision details

The Cabinet Decision “Council investment in Gigg Lane Stadium” made on 13 July 2022, recommended that Cabinet commit £450k of funding to Bury Football Club Company Limited for the purposes of installing a 3G artificial pitch at Gigg Lane stadium with a view to securing benefits for Bury FC and for the wider community.

However, Bury Football Club (2019) Limited is the entity which will enter into the community engagement plan with the Council for the life of the 3G pitch, and it is Bury Football Club (2019) Limited which has entered into the works contract for the 3G pitch and thus is responsible for the use of the grant.

The grant should therefore be paid to Bury Football Club (2019) Limited to provide the greatest protection for the Council.
