A RISLEY based company has started work on a £2.7 million sports pavilion on the site of the former Widnes Recreation Club which was gutted in an arson attack.

The single storey development will include outdoor football and rugby pitches, a floodlit multi-use games area and cricket pitch plus 10 changing rooms, six officials’ changing rooms, a community room and kitchen.

Globe Construction, based at the Daten Business Park, who will deliver the project, will work with pupils at the adjacent Ditton Primary School on projects around construction.
