Statement from Graham Young, Crossford Futures:

It’s important to stress that this is just the first phase of consultation on this vision. It’s aim is to gather all views, feedback and concerns of the local community which will help to shape more detailed proposals.

Any proposal for Crossford Bridge Community Sports Village would have to incorporate a solution that worked for all of the community clubs that use the site at the moment, including Sale United, Sale Harriers and Old Alts. There is no solution that would be put forward that would leave the clubs involved without better facilities.
