Bishton Community Council is undertaking a large community project in partnership with Active Underwood and has established an Extension Project Management Committee to oversee the planning and management of the project (Terms of Reference). The project has 2 key stages -
1. The first stage of the project is a large capital investment to increase the capacity of Underwood Community Centre and move Underwood Barbell into a new facility. This will create room for the service to expand and meet its growing demands in the community.
2. The second stage of the project will then Underwood Barbell become the first "Community Business Enterprise" managed by Active Underwood. Put simply, the facility will be run at a small profit after overheads and this money will be used to invest in other local services.
Further details, plans for the extension and the tendering process are shown within the following pages.
