Plans for new village sports pitch

A new sports pitch could be built at Ewyas Harold recreation ground

A new community sports pitch could be created in a Herefordshire village.

Plans have been put forward for a new multi-use games area at the recreation ground in Ewyas Harold.

The facility would offer tennis, netball, basketball, hockey and five-a-side football.

The parish council, which is behind the proposal, said the venture would attract both children and adults while only needing “minimal maintenance”.

Under the plans, the pitch could be rented out to outside teams in a bid to raise revenue for the village.

An existing car park would also get another 10 spaces as part of the plans, bringing the total to 40.
