Shildon AFC are delighted to announce that we have received this morning planning approval from Durham County Council for the construction of a community garden at Dean Street.

The plans include the construction of a community garden including seating areas, pergolas, toilet block, and refreshments hut, providing an exciting open-air facility for the local community.

The Club were successful in bidding for a £25,000 product bursary from Buildbase as part of their Community Club Award programme for the constuction of the gardern.  The bursary covers building, electrical and hire materials and the bid was awarded by a panel of judges Buildbase and the FA.

Work now begins on putting the plans into action and the Club hope to begin construction late summer 2021.
