The scheme is to develop and upgrade the
existing Kellingley Club to create a central Skills, Business and
Services Hub which will deliver the following:
- A centralised Skills, Business and Services facility that will
support skills and employability, create growth and jobs and
community led economic development within the local area.
- Enterprise advise and business mentoring to new start businesses.
The facility will provide a base for businesses to undertake
learning from industry experts and peers. There is currently a void
in this provision based locally within Knottingley.
- A venue that will promote and educate through a range of
community based active lifestyles and sport initiatives, increasing
health and wellbeing within the area.
- A facility that will bring together a range of existing and new
businesses, community groups and Council services that will work
collectively to support the community and surrounding areas.
- To provide a building that is sustainable and have minimum impact
on the environment which assists in supporting the Councils Climate
and Environment agenda.
