Plans for a new stadium in Workington have been submitted to Allerdale Borough Council<\/a>, to provide a new home for Workington Town Rugby League club and Workington Reds football club<\/h2>\n

The comprehensive application has been devised by architect\u2019s Holmes Miller<\/a> and Iceni Projects<\/a>\u00a0on behalf of the council. Work has also been provided by specialist firms Aecom and Gleeds.<\/p>\n

Allerdale council was approached by Workington Town Rugby League club and Workington Reds football club, to investigate the possibility of building a new stadium for them both.<\/p>\n

Whilst the new stadium would be home to the clubs, it is also designed to be a facility for the whole community to use and enjoy.<\/p>\n

As a result the designs for the three-level building also includes a community 3G training pitch; facilities for the NHS and a pharmacy; office space which it is hoped will be used to house some 300 workers from Sellafield; a hospitality suite with two lounges; and a community caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

The stadium is all part of the council\u2019s commitment to make sport and leisure accessible to all to improve the health and wellbeing<\/a> of local residents, as well as giving local businesses a boost by making towns more attractive to investors.<\/p>\n

The application also covers a number of issues such as a travel plan, landscaping and a flood risk assessment<\/a>. The statement of community involvement details the engagement with local people so far and shows some 97% of people who responded to a consultation event held at Workington\u2019s leisure centre<\/a> last December were supportive of the plans.<\/p>\n
