A historic cricket ground in Wigan has submitted plans to replace their dilapidated clubhouse and build five new homes on the site in order to save their club.
Standish Cricket Club’s pavilion was in desperate need of renovation, then it suffered flood damage back in 2021 - which has made the situation dire. The money generated from a land sale would generate funds to provide new cricket nets, new cricket pavilion including a function room and bar area as well as a revamp of the car park with 27 spaces.
The current state of the clubhouse means that they cannot provide changing facilities for teams or host private functions such as weddings and parties.
