It has just been announced by The Nottinghamshire County Council Olympic Legacy Fund Committee that the Nottingham Anglers Association have been Successful in their grant application.
At the end of 2012 the Association applied for a grant from the Nottinghamshire County Council Olympic Legacy Fund. The application was made to enable the completion of new parking facilities at the Bestwood Duck Pond Complex. During the construction of the new pond in 2012 the excavated material was used to create two new parking areas adjacent to No 1 pond and No 4 pond, however, due to the nature of the material used the areas remained very boggy and unable to be used in anything but the driest of weather. The successful application will allow the parking areas to be properly surfaced with stone as well as some work to improve the access tracks to the parking areas. The Grant, which was for almost £9,000 will make a tremendous difference to our members, especially those with disabilities who at present find it difficult to access many parts of the complex from the existing parking areas.
The Association would like to thank the Olympic Legacy Committee at Nottinghamshire County Council for their generousity in making the funding available and to everyone who has helped in this project.
