INVESTMENT IN THE GLAZEBURY COMMUNITY
£1.5 million of investment to facilitate significant community benefits and facilities funded via enabling residential development.

The site boundary extends along Glazebury's western boundary and includes land to the west of Waltham Avenue, Glazebury cricket club and ground, and an area to the west of All Saints Church.
The Site
The Issues
We have listed some of the issues facing Glazebury's community assets and facilities below
01

Existing cricket facilities are not up to standard and requirements for a modern club. There is no parking and the existing building contains asbestos.
02
School car park at capacity
Current school car park at capacity during peak times (school pick-up and drop-off) resulting in on-street car parking and causing significant congestion and disruption on Hurst Lane.
03
Congestion / Parking to Hurst Lane
Significant on-street car parking along Hurst Lane at school drop-off and pick-up times resulting in congestion and disruption on Hurst Lane.
04
Graveyard almost at capacity
The graveyard at All Saints Church is almost at capacity.
05
Limited space for community uses in the village
There are limited facilities in the village to accommodate community activities.
Do you agree with the above? Are there other issues facing Glazebury's community assets and facilities?
