£300,000 bonus for Aston Hall & Park
A much loved local landmark is set to receive a £300,000 bonus grant from Aston Pride NDC, enabling additional works to be carried out as part of the current major redevelopment project to improve the Grade I Listed Jacobean mansion Aston Hall and the surrounding Grade II Listed Park.
Councillor Ray Hassall, Cabinet Member for Leisure, Culture & Sport, said:
“I am delighted with this additional funding. Aston Hall and Park are already benefiting from a £12 million programme to restore, repair and create much needed facilities including a new reception, cafe, community gallery, education centre, and new sports facilities such as an all weather pitch, three grassed football pitches, a cricket pitch and new pavilion.
“This additional grant of £300,000 will enable us to fulfil our original ambition of fully reinstating CCTV to the West garden, providing improved access and security to the Pavilion and restoring pathways in the Park.
“Further funding of £131,000 has also been raised from a number of other sources for additional conservation and redecoration works inside Aston Hall and repairs externally.”
The additional works will be contained in the original construction period of 67 weeks.
