A full planning application has been made to Preston City Council for a football-focused revamp of Ashton Park. The plans, which have been opposed by local residents, consist of a synthetic 3G pitch and six grass playing surfaces on the Pedders Lane site, as well as a two-storey sports pavilion and a 150-space car park. The £9.7m scheme is one of several that will be almost entirely funded with a share of the £20m awarded to Preston under the government’s Levelling Up Fund.placeholder image
