A parish council are set to take over the running of a well-loved recreation centre.
At the annual parish meeting of Nafferton Parish Council, on Wednesday 1 May, a crowd of around 50 people gathered and heard the plan for the council to manage the Rec Club.
The club, in Eastlands, Nafferton, is currently operated as a charity which was established in 1962. The parish council would take over the running as a trustee of the charity.
Councillor Mike Jackson, deputy chair of Nafferton Parish Council, chaired the meeting.
He said: “We put aside £10,000. We are not expecting to spend £10,000 on this project it is just to have it there if we need it.
“It is a fantastic facility and the quality of what is on offer is very good.
“We will be looking for volunteers to help run the Rec Club.”
An officer from East Riding of Yorkshire Council attended the meeting, to voice support of the club’s revival.
She said: “I am very positive about the development of the recreation club.
“I think there is real potential there.
“You have got one of the best facilities that I have seen so it would be a real shame if it just sat there.”
