PLANNING chiefs at Warrington have given the go-ahead for a new sports hall at Great Sankey High School.
When built, the hall will be arranged around a central plaza connecting with a proposed new science block, which won approval in July.
It will provided a modern, “four court” playing area with changing rooms and storage space to accommodate up to 60 person in home and away teams.
Members of the borough council’s development management committee were told the new building would also help develop the school’s functionality by proving better support for exam seasons and also benefit the community by shared use of the facility for sports.
The building would be made available to encourage participation in sport and fitness – there is likely to be classes such as martial arts, general fitness, basketball practice, 5-a-side football and other such activities.
The new building would be sited between the former Barrow Hall Primary School buildings, and the Barrow/ Whittle Brook corridor.
