BLACKBURN’S Mill Hill Football Club has won a £1,000 grant towards a new tractor-mower to keep its pitches — used by dozens of youngsters and adults every week — in good condition.
The cash is from Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw's Community Action Fund.
Applicant Peter Fryer said: “It is quite a deprived area and there’s not a lot for young people to do, so the club makes quite a difference.
“We have the ground on a long-term lease and about 150-160 children use the facilities, and there are two disabled teams and the senior teams as well.”
Mr Grunshaw said he was ‘delighted’ to help the club.
