Members give go ahead for Vale’s ‘visionary, realistic and affordable’ £2million future.
In what was billed as a crucial meeting for the future of Vale of Lune rugby club, members voted to go ahead with ambitious £2million plans to build a new clubhouse and changing rooms at Powder House Lane.
The 100 or so members at the meeting gave the club the go ahead to seek planning permission for the complex, which will be built on the site of the current stand and changing rooms.
Chairman Brian McCann described the plans as being vital for Vale’s future. “They are visionary, realistic and affordable”, he said. Mr McCann and the development committee agreed to another meeting with members once the plan had been approved and the finances agreed.
Members were able to to study the plans before being given a more detailed brief by the architects. The plans will now be submitted to Lancaster City Council. Although no firm details are in place, if everything went according to plan, work could start in April 2008.
