£750,000 Sports Stadium To Be Built In West Dunbartonshire

A new £750,000 community sports stadium is to be built in West Dunbartonshire.

Plans to develop a new home ground for Clydebank FC and Yoker Athletic were approved by councillors last week.

Features of the Holm Park facility will include a new synthetic playing surface, an improved spectator area and new floodlighting.

Councillor Patrick McGlinchey said: "Clydebank FC has waited a long time for this development and I'm delighted they will now finally have somewhere they can call home.

"We're committed to improving the wellbeing of our communities and encouraging participation in sport is one way we are doing this."

The project is the latest in a series of sports development schemes by the council, including a £1.65m athletic tracks project at Posties Park and the creation of a new Community Sports Hub in Whitecrook.
