Floodlights would be covered with the likes of grants etc. is their fence up yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top of Meeks Road Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Remarkable work by the guys at Camelon Juniors during lockdown. Floodlights, pitch drainage, terracing repairs, changing rooms upgrade, seated stand... the list goes on. Had to contend with arson attack as well. The club have posted a video of the lockdown works. Worth a look. Amazing effort from all of the guys and volunteers at the club. Deserve great credit 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Whitestone Park pitch used to and maybe still does double as a cricket pitch so a fence might be a problem for Peebles. Plus the site floods if the Tweed rises although they could put in a similar fence to Edinburgh University's which has gaps in the bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFIK you don't need planning permission for a fence up to 2.0 metres. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect a fence in a previously open space like a football pitch wouldn't be covered by that exemption, is that right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Remarkable amout of sprucing-up, pavilion upgrades and floodlight erecting seen this year. I note Musselburgh's now put a roof on terrace behind north goal, to create additional cover: Edited November 13, 2020 by HibeeJibee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
