Construction Works at Dean Street

There are currently building works being undertaken at Dean Street to replace the perimeter fencing.

This means that there are a number of excavations around the ground.

There have been a several instances recently where children have been accessing the ground – this is obviously unsafe for them and causes issues for the club, particularly damage to the pitch. 

Please ensure that you remind children that Dean Street is private property and is currently unsafe to access unsupervised.

Thank you.
