The Village of Essington could benefit from a range of new community facilities as part of a development scheme being proposed by local businessman Jack Moody.
Mr Moody founder of Jack Moody PLC has commissioned Planning Consultants First City Limited to lead a public consultation event for the development proposals on land situated off Hobnock Road, Essington.
The aim of the development is to bring the community together, to encourage the use of outdoor space and to provide facilities for people of all ages in Essington. The development will include new high quality recreation and leisure facilities incorporated into a new Essington Park. Facilities could include 2 junior football pitches, a bowling green, 24 allotment plots, a youth centre and car parking to accommodate the recreational facilities and St John’s Primary School located adjacent to the site on Hobnock Road.
The development will also include the provision of around 65 new homes offering a mix of types and sizes including much needed affordable housing with priority given to Essington residents and a managed retirement scheme. This will provide accommodation for our ever increasing ageing community in safe and secure surroundings.
The development will also include significant tree belt planting to the east of the site to encourage wildlife to the area and to act as a sound barrier to the M6 motorway.
Mr Moody is keen to provide local facilities and to create jobs for local people and welcomes the views and support of the community of Essington.
A public consultation event will be held on Friday 4th November 4.00pm – 8.00pm and Saturday 5th November 11.00pm – 2.00pm at Essington Community Centre, Hobnock Road, Essington to give residents of Essington the opportunity to view the plans for the development and to have their say.
