All-weather pitch move
An artificial sports pitch is set to be built at Ludlow Town Football Club so that different sports teams can play matches regardless of the weather.
Ludlow Town FC is seeking funding from the Football Foundation, National Lottery and South Shropshire District Council towards the scheme, which is expected to cost more than £100,000.
The club has been forced to abandon matches in November, December and January because of flooding.
Now it wants to find a permanent solution to flooding problems and hopes external funders will offer support.
Councillor Mrs Heather Kidd, leader of South Shropshire District Council, said the move would be considered at a meeting by the executive committee on Monday.
She said: "The football club is putting forward a proposal for an artificial pitch and is seeking support from the district council.
"We are very keen that the facility will be available to the wider community. It is important that different sports are able to use the pitch."
A spokeswoman for Ludlow Town FC said the pitch would be available for hire to other football teams, hockey teams and players of different sports.
