Harwich and Dovercourt Rugby Club has applied for and been provisionally awarded Pitch Power funding by the Football Foundation.
The grant funding is for a ten year period to carry out additional pitch maintenance and improvement works at pitches owned by Tendring District Council at Low Road Dovercourt.
Part of the grant award includes requirement for agreement of the land owner in general, ongoing normal maintenance and, to allow the club to carry out the works via a contractor. Provisions requiring the Club to oversee risk assessments, quality and contractor insurance are included.
The agreement doesn't provide for possession of land or for a payment of consideration and is therefore, effectively, a licence agreement.
