Council cash gives Goxhill bowling green a cutting-edge upgrade
Comments Off on Council cash gives Goxhill bowling green a cutting-edge upgradeGoxhill’s much-loved bowling green is set for a major lift, with a new mower on the way that will keep the surface in top condition and make it easier for volunteers to maintain the green all year round.
The upgrade will help the club attract new players, support existing members, and keep bowls thriving at the heart of village life.
The improvement is being made possible thanks to a £9,500 community grant from North Lincolnshire Council.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “This is about backing the people who keep our communities moving. The volunteers at Goxhill Bowling Club put in huge effort and this investment means they can keep the green in first-class shape.”
“A great surface brings in new players, keeps people active and strengthens the club for the future.”
Run entirely by volunteers, the club brings together residents of all ages – from newcomers picking up their first set of bowls to seasoned competitors – offering both a sporting challenge and a friendly social hub.
Cllr Peter Clark, lead member for culture, said: “Clubs like Goxhill Bowling Club are the backbone of local life.”
“This grant helps remove one of the headaches volunteers face and lets them focus on what really matters – welcoming players, organising events and keeping the sport thriving. It shows how a relatively small investment can deliver a big win for community wellbeing.”
It is also part of a wider package of support for older residents across North Lincolnshire – from providing air fryers to help cut cooking costs to distributing winter-warm packs that keep people safe and comfortable through the colder months.
The grant is part of the council’s ongoing support for grassroots groups that enrich local communities and encourage people to get active, connect and take part.
Since launching in 2011, the fund has supported hundreds of projects across North Lincolnshire – investing in the spaces, activities, and facilities that residents say make the biggest difference.
Grants are available for junior and youth groups, charitable bodies, co-operatives, not-for-profit organisations, and individuals demonstrating excellence in sport, art, or culture. Support is also available for venue hire, helping to keep community spaces open and active.
